Momma was a hot head, daddy was a redneck
Grew up in a single wide when Reagan was president
Spoonin in a twin size, newlywed business
Didnt know they gonna have themselves a little redhead
Nine months from Valentines, blamed it on the red wine
Bought a station wagon, stopped runnin all the red lights
Big eyes, bigger mouth, wild child complex
They didnt have a clue how to raise a little redhead
Oh, they got their hands full, tryin to tame a pistol
Spitfire, freckles that could run among the dead
Clothes line, tightrope, daredevil, high hopes
They raised a little hell when they raised a little redhead
Now tell us how it is, uh-hum
Living with a sunburn, running with scissors
Daddys belt couldnt help simmer down the temper
Bull in a china shop, rose-colored reckless
Tried to run away, but trouble loves a little redhead
Oh, they got their hands full, tryin to tame a pistol
Spitfire, freckles that could run among the dead
Clothes line, tightropes, daredevil, high hopes
They raised a little hell when they raised a little redhead, mm
Oh, they got their hands full, tryin to tame a pistol
Spitfire, freckles that could run among the dead
Clothes line, tightropes, daredevil, high hopes
They raised a little hell when they raised a little redhead
God made the blondes, black-haired, and the brunettes
Devil dropped in said, I dont think youre done yet
Lets make a compromise, make an angel backslide
So they chipped in, and they made a little redhead
