Red Rum

Red Rum

Verse 1:

Townsmen carried her to freedom

As his bullets of rage echo through the trees

Moonshine aint the only thing runnin

From a town where the dead can be seen

Verse:

They all know that he’s crazy

But for too long their lips have been sealed

Bodies covered in flies

He curses and he lies

But In time his sins will be revealed

Chorus:

Red Rum running down the mountain

She seen that look in his eyes

Oh Red Rum

The day she’s been countin until he comes

Back for her life

Oh Red Rum

Verse 2:

She took an oath to sleep lightly

Until she seen his name set in stone

Threats he made she don’t’ Take lightly

The smell of corn liquor

Still chills her to the bone

Chorus

Lead

Bridge:

Oh the lantern glass shatters

Every bullet matters

From a cold 45

She’s frozen in fear

His ransom is clear

Now he pays with his life oh

Chorus: Red Rum running down the mountain

He sees that look in her eyes

Oh Red Rum the day she been countin until he comes back for her life

Until he comes back for her life.
