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 faintly through his clenched fists 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 looking for a lover

That Georgia sun was blood red...

With dusty teardrops on his face my daddy cried and big steps he was taking

Halfway running to keep up my shorter legs were so tired and shaking

Where did I go wrong girl why she did 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...

We searched in every barroom 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...

That Georgia sun was blood red...
