White Is Red

Frankie was a heart breaker

I didn't know it at the start

She was only sixteen

But she went and broke my heart

And she pulled up in her dads car wearing white

She said she knew a place where we could hide

She didn't have a license and she told me I could drive

So I drove all night

Why don't you leave me, she asked that night

I said: I see, I didn't know the kid is mine

I'll never leave you, it isn't right

Lets stay together until the end of time

Oh now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

Oh now the white is red

I heard that there's a place where we can go

Across the state there's no one that we know

Or maybe rent a place where we can stay

Where what we have will go along the way

Then Frankie turned to me, she looked me in the eye

She said that I looked tired, she told me she could drive

I pulled up to the station, walked through neon lights

Then she put her foot down, down, down, down

Why did you leave me alone that night

You took of racing, the kid is mine

You left me standing out on the yellow line

The daylight's fading into the night

We cross the line

Oh now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

Oh now the white is red

I don't know why she left, took off racin'

I ran down yellow line, red lights fadin'

She went left, double line, outta luck, outta time

I cover my eyes, I know she crossed the line

She crossed the line

Oh now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

Oh now the white is red
