Sweet Country Red

Raised on Kentucky hard times
She almost starved before she was grown
But a good looking' country girl like Red
She wouldn't be hungry for too long
And it didn't take long to find out
Wasn't no use in walking when she could ride
So she pulled out of Kentucky
Lookin' good and feeling lucky
Whole lotta woman, that country Red
Sweet country Red

With a whole lot of hair hanging down
She found it wasn't hard to make life easy
With eyes as blue as a country sky
She made some laugh and she made some cry
Whole lotta woman, that country Red
Sweet country Red

You know she's gonna be just what she's gonna be
There ain't nobody gonna change her
She just wants a little bit more of what she's never had
And Lord knows, I'd be the last to blame her
Sweet country Red

Now she's living and loving
Getting all the good out of the good times
So don't ever say she's running wild
Unless you've been a hungry child
And grew up on the hard times
Like country Red
Sweet country Red

She's just having herself a good time
Sweet country Red
Getting the good out of the good times
Sweet country Red
She ain't worried about the hard times
Sweet country Red
She's just having herself a good time
Sweet country Red
