Better off Red - Angaleena Presley

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

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

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

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

'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

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
