Blood Red and Going Down

That Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was blood red and going down Daddy said, "Now come girl We're heading down the road to Augusta" An thinking through his clenched teeth He called mama's name, then he cursed her He said, "Girl, you're young, but some dude has come along And stole your mother" Ah, but you can't steal a willing mind Whose mom is always looking for a lover That Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was blood red and going down 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 with tears Never knows exactly what to say That Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was blood red and going down 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 Soaking up the sawdust on the floor That Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
