That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin down
Daddy said, Now come girl
Were headed down the road to Augusta
And frankly through his clenched teeth
He called Mamas name and then he cussed her
He said, Girl, youre young
But some dude has come along and stole your mother
But you cant steal a willin mind
Cause mamas always lookin for a lover
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin down
With dusty tear drops on his face
My daddy cried an big steps he was takin
Halfway runnin to keep up
My shorter legs were so tired and shakin
Where did I go wrong, girl?
Why would she leave us both this way?
At times like these, a child of ten
Never knows exactly what to say
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin down
We searched in every bar-room
And honky-tonk as well
And finally daddy found them
And 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
Soakin up the sawdust on the floor
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
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin down
