The Color Red

(Album: The Henningsens - 2013)

A blood moon of a neon sign
You've got no good on your mind
And I hear the color red

Saw your neighbor smiling there
Hitting at her on that chair
And I hear the color red

I don't blame you but what he's taken just ain't worth his life
Hallelujah, I can't let you kill a man tonight,
Cause I'm all that you have left, and you're standing on the edge
Of the color red

A 45 on the shotgun seat
Cold steel just a-needing heat
And I hear the color red

Traitor's kiss on an innocent cheek
Stole the land from beneath your feet
And I hear the color red

I don't blame you but what he's taken just ain't worth his life
Hallelujah, I can't let you kill a man tonight,
Cause I'm all that you have left, and you're standing on the edge
Of the color red

I hear the color red
Down at the coffee shop, hear the man a-talking
He pats you on the back while he's picking your pocket
I hear the color red
Blood in the water, big red tractor
Watching that chance like a bad man's laughter
I hear the color red
And I know sometimes a brother needs a helping hand
May be a sin but I'm sure the Lord will understand
Why I had to steal your gun

I don't blame you but what he's taken just ain't worth his life
Hallelujah, I can't let you go out there tonight,
Cause I'm all that you have left, and you're standing on the edge
Of the color red
Of the color red
Of the color red
