Red Light

(album: Georgia Satellites - 1986)

Yeah my baby called up said I done made her mad
she's taking me off for everything that I had
ran out of town and now she's come back
got Van Halen wailing on the stereo eight track
watch out baby that's what I said
there's a red light, road block, bridge out ahead

here she comes in town running lickety split
running red lights the girl's mad as shit
coming in town on some slippery road
ninety miles an hour gonna get my goat
tack started reading in the double red
there's a red light, road block, bridge out ahead

Well she came up to Jack's bridge but
that bridge wasn't there
she stomped the 'cellerator jumped right up in the air
tires was whining you could hear 'em sing
that Firebird flew like it just grew wings
landed in my yard and she's toting lead
there's a red light, road block, bridge out ahead

Well my baby called me ukp said I done made her mad
she's taking me off for everything that I had
ran out of town and now she's come back
got Van Halen wailing on the stereo eight track
watch out baby that's what I said
there's a red light, road block, bridge out ahead.
