RED Lyrics by Jet Jurgensmeyer
You can see it in the sun sinking down by the ridge of the holler
It’s the flush in your cheeks first time that you put your lips on her
It’s the glow of the lighter when you take a pull off your first cigarette
Red
You can feel it in your veins when somebody badmouths your mama
It’s the stain on your fist when you lay a left hook right on
Yeah, you should’ve seen it comin’ by the shade of the back of your neck
Red
Red on the bottom of blue collar boots
When they’re working on being broken
Red like the stripes on the freedom flying
Standing tall in the wind
Just like the dirt one day
We’re all gonna be covered in
Heart in your chest stains on the cross, yeah, everyone bleeds red
It’s the color of your eyes after the night that she finally rode away
And the cloud of dust that she kicked up from a road that ain’t seen rain
God only knows when it finally pour and wash away that tread of red
Red on the bottom of blue collar boots
When they’re working on being broken
Red like the stripes on the freedom flying
Standing tall in the wind
Just like the dirt one day
We’re all gonna be covered in
Heart in your chest stains on the cross, yeah, everyone bleeds red
It’s the ones coming home after fighting off the devil with the blood and the tears in the sweat
And when you’re down on your knees
There’s the letters that you read by the bed
Red on the bottom of blue collar boots
When they’re working on being broken
Red like the stripes on the freedom flying
Standing tall in the wind
Just like the dirt one day
We’re all gonna be covered in
Heart in your chest stains on the cross, yeah, everyone bleeds red
Red
Heart in your chest stains on the cross, yeah, everyone bleeds red
