Better Off Red Lyrics

I'd be better off red
If all the things I've learned
Would just fall out of my head
'Cause a blade of blue grass
Left a scar on my neck
And it ain't quit hurtin' yet
I'd be better off red
I'd want ten little acres
Instead of the world
I'd be a homemaker
Instead of the girl
Who had to make it out
Of a nowhere town
Just to make her mama proud
See my daddy's not well read
He don't give a damn about these
Things in my head
He's got a chevy, a front porch
And a TV set
No he ain't hurtin' yet
I'd be better off red
I'd want the bank of a river
Instead of the sea
I'd be a school teacher
Instead of the freak
Who had to run away
From the only place
Where everybody knew my name
'Cause the world ain't got
No front porch swing
The sea ain't got no
Fresh green banks
I ain't found one finer thing, mama
I'd be better off red
If all the things I've learned
Would just fall out of my head
'Cause a blade of blue grass
Left a scar on my neck
And it ain't quit hurtin' yet
I'd be better off red
