Blood Red And Going Down

That Georgia sun was blood red and going down

That Georgia sun was blood red and going downDaddy 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 herHe 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 loverThat Georgia sun was blood red and going down

That Georgia sun was blood red and going downWith 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 shakingWhere 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 sayThat Georgia sun was blood red and going down

That Georgia sun was blood red and going downWe searched in every bar room

And honky-tonk as well

And finally daddy found them

But Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tellHe sent me out to wait

But scared, I looked back through the door

And daddy left them both

Soaking up the sawdust on the floorThat Georgia sun was blood red and going down

That Georgia sun was blood red and going downThat Georgia sun was blood red and going down

That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
