Lyrics Better off Red - Angaleena Presley

Better off Red

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
