Blood Red And Goin’ Down - Live From The Troubadour / October 2019

Thank you

1974 y'all it's been a while

That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood-red and goin' down

Daddy said, "Now come girl, we're headed down the road to Augusta"
And frankly through his clenched teeth, he called Mama's name and then he cussed her
He said, "Girl, you're young but some dude has come along and stole your mother"
Oh, but you can't steal a willin' mind 'cause mama's 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 and big steps he was takin'
A 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

Thank you very much
So beautiful
Thank you so much it's good to be with y'all tonight
Here at the Troubadour
I mean this is my first
And still it was amazing
I've got a few first lift
But this is the first and we thank you for being here
It means so much to me
