Better Off Red by Angaleena Presley Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2014

[Chorus]
I'd be better off red
If all the things I've learned would just fall out of my head
'Cause a blade of bluegrass left a scar on my neck
And it ain't quit hurting yet
I'd be better off red

[Verse 1]
I want ten little acres instead of the world
I'd be a homemaker instead of the girl
Who had to make it out of her nowhere town
Just to make her Momma proud

[Verse 2]
See, my Daddy's not well-read
And he don't give a damn about these things in my head
He's got a Chevy, a front porch and a TV set
He ain't hurting yet
I'd be better off red

[Veres 3]
I'd want the bank of a river instead of the sea
I'd be a schoolteacher instead of the freak
Who had to run away from the only place
Where everybody knew my name
[Bridge]
'Cause the world ain't got no front porch swing
The city ain't got no fresh green beans
I ain't found one finer thing Momma

[Chorus]
I'd be better off red
If all the things I've learned
Would just fall out of my head
'Cause a blade of bluegrass left a scar on my neck
And it ain't quit hurting yet
I'd be better off red
