Better Off Red Lyrics - American Middle Class - Angaleena Presley

i'd be better off red 

if all the things i've learned would just fall out of my head 

'cause a blade of bluegrass left a scar on my neck and it ain't quit hurtin' yet 

i'd be better off red 

i want ten little acres instead of the world 

i'd be a homemaker instead of the girl who had 

to make it out of her nowhere town 

just to make her mama proud 

see, my daddy's not well-read 

he don't give a damn about these things in my head 

he's got a Chevy, front porch and a TV set 

he ain't hurtin' yet 

i'd be better off red 

i'd want the bank of a river instead of the sea 

i'd be a schoolteacher instead of the freak 

who had to run away from the only place 

where everybody knew my name 

'cause the world ain't got no front porch swing 

the city ain't got no fresh green beans 

i ain't found one finer thing, mama 

i'd be better off red 

if all the things i've learned would just fall out of my head 

'cause a blade of bluegrass left a scar on my neck 

it ain't quit hurtin' yet 

i'd be better off red
