Red Round Here

(album: Might As Well Be Me - 2022)

Somebody's gotta beat the sunrise up
To throw somebody's trash in the back of a truck
Somebody's gotta paint white lines on the interstate
Yeah, somebody's gotta drive the bus around town
Somebody's gotta drive fence posts in the ground
Somebody's gotta put on a tie and run the USA, but hey

Somebody's gotta keep it red 'round here
Hold it down, down here
Pump a county line sign full of lead 'round here, yeah
Crank some Hank on the bank, throw some bait on a limb line, hanging on a tree
Yeah, I've been thinking somebody's gotta keep it red 'round here
Might as well be me

Yeah, somebody's gotta put in the time all fall
To hang a half a paycheck rack on the wall
That you tracked down and hauled around town all day
Yeah, Somebody's gotta keep a tractor in the barn
Dog on the porch, a car in the yard, yeah
Everybody's got their thing but all I'm trying to say, all I'm trying to say

Somebody's gotta keep it red 'round here
Hold it down, down here
Pump a county line sign full of lead 'round here, yeah
Crank some Hank on the bank, throw some bait on a limb line, hanging on a tree
Yeah, I've been thinking somebody's gotta keep it red 'round here
Might as well be me

From Mobile to Philly, hell, even LA
I'll bet there's some necks with a certain kind of shade
Thinking the same damn thing

Somebody's gotta keep it red 'round here
Hold it down, down here
Pump a county line sign full of lead 'round here, yeah
Crank some Hank on the bank, throw some bait on a limb line, hanging on a tree
Yeah, I've been thinking somebody's gotta keep it red 'round here
Might as well be me
