"WRITE IT IN RED" lyrics

"WRITE IT IN RED"

What you know 'bout two lanes?
Tracin' out a tree line?
What you know 'bout last names?
Up there on the street signs?
What you know 'bout 30-30s?
Puttin' down them Boone and Crocketts?
Keepin' that old Chevy dirty
White ring in your Wrangler pocket

That's a story that don't ever get told
That's a book that don't ever get sold
If you're ever tryin' to put it all down
Ever tryin' to get the good word out

Write it in red like
The dust up in them headlights
Like the two shells in the 12 on my bedside
Write it in red like
The wax up on that bottle
Red like the top of the box of them Marlboros
Yeah, we love it more than like it
Naw, there ain't nothin' like it
This way of life and the way we're livin' by it
They could write it in red
Write, write it in red
Write it in red
Write, write it in red
Write it in—

What you know 'bout boll weevils?
Eatin' up a cotton crop?
What you know 'bout sunset watchin' that old yellow duster drop?
What you know 'bout grits and biscuits down there at the mom and pop?
Been like this, ain't never gonna not

Write it in red like
The dust up in them headlights
Like the two shells in the 12 on my bedside
Write it in red like
The wax up on that bottle
Red like the top of the box of them Marlboros
Yeah, we love it more than like it
Naw, there ain't nothin' like it
This way of life and the way we're livin' by it
They could write it in red
Write, write it in red
Write it in red
Write, write it in red
Yeah, you could write it in—

When they chisel my name in the stone above my head
It should be the color of my neck

Write it in red like
The dust up in them headlights
Like the two shells in the 12 on my bedside
Write it in red like
The wax up on that bottle
Red like the top of the box of them Marlboros
Yeah, we love it more than like it
Naw, there ain't nothin' like it
This way of life and the way we're livin' by it
They could write it in red
Write, write it in red
Write it in red
Write, write it in red
They could write it in red
Write, write it in red
Write it in red
Write, write it in red
Yeah, you can write it in—
