The Color Red

The blood moon of a neon sign
You've got no good on your mind
And I hear the color red
Saw your neighbor smiling there
In an Adirondack chair
And I hear the color red

[Chorus]
I don't blame you, but what he's taken
Just ain't worth his life
Hallelujah, I can't let you
Kill a man tonight
Cause I'm all that you have left
And you're standing on the edge
Of the color red

A 45 on the shotgun seat
Cold steel just a needing heat
And I hear the color red
Traitor's kiss on an innocent cheek
Stole the land from beneath your feet
And I hear the color red

[Chorus]

I hear the color red
Down at the coffee shop, hear the man a talking
He pats you on the back while he's picking your pocket
I hear the color red
Blood in the water, big red tractor
Rocking that chance like a bad man's laughter
I hear the color red

And I know sometimes a brother needs a helping hand
It may be a sin
But I'm sure the Lord will understand
Why I had to steal your gun

[Chorus]
