Crimson Red

Well, the sun was setting on that little town
Mama was a-wondering what to do
She donned her hose, went
Said, «We're young and free, get on your dancing shoes»
In a bar across town, a man was pounding Guinness down
Guitar on his back without a song
His heart was big, he was living on a dream
But it might be an early night, well he was wrong
Oh, I’m here 'cause Mama said
«I'm gonna take this town and paint it crimson red»
And a dreamer boy was passing through
Well I guess that’s where I get my need to roam
Oh no, I didn’t come from love
I’m not ashamed, I thank the stars above
For that I can find a night of fun
And don’t I always love to go back home?
Oh, I knew this girl loved to bring her to this world
Comes and goes and tears up both her eyes
But, no, not me, that is just not what I need
No, Jack’s the only man who can make me cry
Oh, I’m here 'cause Mama said
«I'm gonna take this town and paint it crimson red»
And a dreamer boy was passing through
I guess that’s where I get my need to roam
Oh no, I didn’t come from love
I’m not ashamed, I thank the stars above
For that I can find a night of fun
And don’t I always love to go back home?
Don’t I love to go back home?
Don’t I love to go back home?
