That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down

Daddy said now come girl we're headed down the road to Augusta
And faintly through his clenched fists he called mama's name and then he cussed her
He said girl you're young but some dude has come along and stole your mother
But you can't steal a willin' mind cause mama's always looking for a lover

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down

With dusty teardrops on his face my daddy cried and big steps he was taking
Halfway running to keep up my shorter legs were so tired and shaking
Where did I go wrong girl why would she leave us both this way
At times like these a child of ten never knows exactly what to say

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down

We searched in every barroom and honky tonk as well
And finally daddy found them and Lord you know the rest is hard to tell
He sent me out to wait but scared I looked back through the door
And daddy left them both soakin' up the sawdust on the floor

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down

That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down
