Lyrics
10) Redheaded Woman
m.litton
I’s born in a wheat town, my name is Marty Joe
My man trucked livestock, he died last year
On the road to Saint Joe, they say he lost control
The road was icy, he’d had alotta beer
Now I’m a lonely, Lord, unholy, redheaded woman
My first sweetheart was an Oklahoma man
He talked real slow but he drove real fast
He ran the combine up on my uncle’s land
His whiskey made me dizzy, his lovin’ just made me laugh
And I’m a lonely, Lord, unholy, redheaded woman
I got a brand-new bottle, an old problem to solve
It’s a late night in August and it’s a country bar
That jukebox is playin’ truck-drivin’ songs
Let’s drink ‘n git happy and forget who we are
‘Cause I’m a lonely, Lord, unholy, redheaded woman
Bridge: I don’t wear no wedding ring, don’t need no alibi
I’m a salt ‘n pepper lady, ain’t no man’s sugar pie
Redheaded woman, redheaded woman...
I’s born in a wheat town...
