Blood Red and Goin' Down

That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down Daddy said, "Now come girl We're headed down the road to Augusta" And frankly through his clenched teeth He called Mama's name and then he cussed her He said, "Girl, you're young But some dude has come along and stole your mother" But you can't steal a willin' mind 'Cause mama's always lookin' for a lover That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down With dusty tear drops on his face My daddy cried an' big steps he was takin' Halfway runnin' to keep up My shorter legs were so tired and shakin' "Where did I go wrong, girl? Why would she leave us both this way?" At times like these, a child of ten Never knows exactly what to say That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down We searched in every bar-room And honky-tonk as well And finally daddy found them And Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell He sent me out to wait But scared, I looked back through the door And daddy left them both Soakin' up the sawdust on the floor That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
