The Color Red Lyrics

Henningsens The Color Red

I don't blame you for 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

The gloom of a neon sign
You've got no good on your mind
And I hear the color red
Saw your name and a smile in there
Even had her own back chair
And I hear the color red

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 case on an innocent cheek
Stole the lamp, brought the knee gold deep
And I hear the color red

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

I hear the color red

Down at the coffee shop, hear the man 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
Auctioneer chants like a band 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

I don't blame you, but what he's taken
Just ain't worth his life, hallelujah
I can't let you go out there tonight
'Cause I'm all that you have left
And you're standing on the edge
Of the color red

The color red
The color red
The color red
