Redhead

(album: If It Wasn't For You - 2020)

Mama was a hothead
Daddy was a redneck
Grew up in a single-wide when Reagan was president
Spooning in a twin size
Newlywed business
Didn't know they gonna have themselves a little redhead

Nine months from Valentines
Blamed it on the red wine
Bought a station wagon, stopped running all the red lights
Big eyes, bigger mouth
Wild child complex
They didn't have a clue how to raise a little redhead

Oh, they got their hands full
Trying to tame a pistol
Spitfire freckles that could run her mother dead
Clothesline tightrope
Daredevil high hopes
They raised a little Hell when they raised a little redhead
Now tell us how it is, Reba

Living with a sunburn
Running with scissors
Daddy's belt couldn't help simmer down the temper
Bull in a china shop
Rose colored reckless
Try to run away but trouble loves a little redhead

Oh, they got their hands full
Trying to tame a pistol
Spitfire freckles that could run her mother dead
Clothesline tightrope
Dare devil high hopes
They raised a little hell when they raised a little redhead

Oh, they got their hands full
Trying to tame a pistol
Spitfire freckles that could run her mother dead
Clothesline tightrope
Dare devil 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 and said "I don't think you're done yet"
Let's make a compromise, make an angel backslide
So they chipped in and they made a little redhead
