The Red Plains lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The Red Plains lyrics B. R. Hornsby/John Hornsby Four walls I built one winter She came to share my name For years we lived as lovers on the open plains Far off the heat wave shimmers Pipelines and the gasoline One day it all came running like a bad dream Fire, smoke-filled lungs I hope I ll be standing when the day is done We re Staring out at the red plains And we re hiding out from the smoke and the rage A lifetime living on the red plains Watching out as it all goes up in flames Get up on Sunday morning Repent for Friday night Don t let em tell you it s gonna be a fair fight I gave her clothes and a diamond She loved the things that shine But one day the gold and the silver get left behind Fire, smoke-filled rooms I hope I ll be standing when the day is through Staring out at the red plains And we re hiding out from the smoke and the rage A lifetime living on the red plains Watching out as it all goes up in flames song lyrics
