White Is Red

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Frankie was a heart-breaker; I didn't know it at the start She was only sixteen when she went and broke my heart [Pre-Chorus] And she pulled up in her dad's car wearin' white She said she knew a place where we could hide She didn't have her license, but she told me I could drive So I drove all night [Chorus 1] "Why don't you leave me?" she asked that night I said, "I'll stay; I know the kid is mine I'd never leave you; it isn't right Let's stay together until the end of time" [Refrain] Oh, now the white is red Can't get it outta my head Oh, now the white is red [Verse 2] "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 would go a longer way" [Pre-Chorus] 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 the neon lights Then she put her foot down, down, down, down [Chorus] Why did you leave me alone that night? You took off racing; the kid is mine You left me standing out on the yellow line The taillight's fading into the night [Post-Chorus] We crossed the line We crossed the line We crossed the line We crossed the line [Refrain] Oh, now the white is red Can't get it outta my head Oh, now the white is red [Bridge] I don't know why she left, took off racin' I ran down, yellow line, red lights fadin' She went left, double line, outta love, outta time I covered eyes; I know she crossed the line She crossed the line She crossed the line She crossed the line She crossed the line She crossed the line She crossed the line She crossed the line She crossed the line [Refrain] Oh, now the white is red Can't get it outta my head Oh, now the white is red
