Tanya Tucker - Blood Red And Going Down Lyrics
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 headin' down the road to Augusta."
And faintly 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.
Ah, 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 teardrops on his face, my daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'
And 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
