Auburn Girl

She had hair like the leaves when the trees get tired
And they cant take the sun no more
They float on down from the top of the world
To cover this beggar's floor
She walked in the bar with her head up high
Like a rose without a thorn
Big brown eyes like jack on ice
Got me coming back 'round for more

She was a real smooth talker with a tongue so fast
It'll spin ya right out your boots
My heart skipped a beat when she glanced at me
Drinking beer in the corner booth
She Said, "Hey pretty boy, won't you come over here
So I can take a better look at you"
If you don't mind, I think you'd do just fine
Being mine for a night or two

All my boys said slow down man
That girl seems like bad news
I said you hadn't read it right
She makes me feel brand new
Before I knew it I was slipping under
She had beaten me black and blue
She said "Your mine now boy, until we grow old
There ain't nothing you can do"

I said oh, Well I can't go
Down this hurtful, red dirt, dead end road no more
I said oh, and I'll leave tomorrow
Then I'll run till I can't feel my feet no more
Oh cause two wrongs, don't make a right
So I can stay, but one more night

I thumbed my way down to Mexico
In hopes she wasn't there
Standing in the sunlight
With that sunkissed auburn hair
I hate to say that I let her go
Cause I just couldn't fair
One more summer of heartbreak lovin'
Passed out in a bar somewhere

I said oh well I can't go
Down this hurtful, red dirt, dead end road no more
I said oh and I'll leave tomorrow
And I'll run till I can't feel my feet no more
And I can't go back again
To that girl, who woulda left me dead
And I can't go home again
Cause I ain't got, but one more friend

I said oh well I can't go
Down this hurtful, red dirt, dead end road no more
I said oh and I'll leave tomorrow
And I'll run till I can't feel my feet no more

And I can't go back again
To that girl, who woulda left me dead
And I can't go home again
Cause I ain't got, but one more friend
