Blood Red and Goin' Down

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down

We're headed down the road to Augusta"
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
He sent me out to wait

My daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'

With dusty teardrops on his face
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
Daddy said, "Now come girl

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
My shorter legs were so tired and shakin'

But you can't steal a willin' mind
We searched in every barroom
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
"Where did I go wrong, girl?
And frankly through his clenched teeth

An' daddy left them both
Why would she leave us both this way?"
And Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell
But scared I looked back through the door
An' honky-tonk as well
But some dude has come along and stole your mother"
He said, "Girl, you're young
Never knows exactly what to say
He called Mama's name and then he cussed her
Soakin' up the sawdust on the floor

At times like these, a child of ten
An' finally daddy found them
Halfway runnin' to keep up
'Cause mama's always lookin' for a lover
