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
