Blood Red and Going Down

Lyrics

[Chorus] That Georgia sun Was blood red and goin' down That Georgia sun Was blood red and goin' down [Verse 1] Daddy said Now come, girl We're headed down the road to Augusta And thinking through his clenched teeth He called Mama's name Then he cussed her He said Girl, you're young But some dude has come along And stole your mother Aw, but you can't steal a willing mind Whose mama's always looking for a lover [Chorus] That Georgia sun Was blood red and goin' down That Georgia sun Was blood red and goin' down [Verse 2] With dusty teardrops on his face My daddy cried And big steps he was taking And halfway running to keep up My shorter legs were so tired and shaking 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 [Chorus] That Georgia sun Was blood red and goin' down That Georgia sun Was blood red and goin' down [Verse 3] We searched in every bar room And honky-tonk as well And finally, Daddy found them But 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 Sucking up the sawdust on the floor [Chorus] 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
