Blue Asian Reds Lyrics - Singles - Terry Allen

Yeah, she got them red eyes 

Ah, from doin' the red pills 

And she says it's for the high times 

Yeah, she says it's for thrills 

So she done reds, with her coffee 

With her Pepsis and her gin 

And she says it really does her out fine 

But it's just doin' her in 

You see she lost her soldier boy 

Over in Nam 

And she found out a year ago Wednesday 

When after work she come home 

And she read his latest letter 

That said never again would he leave her alone 

And besides it all the telegrams 

That said he was gone 

Oh, she cried and she cried 

Yeah, for nearly a year 

Then I guess she just lost the will to live 

Like she lost that soldier so dear 

'Cause she just traded in all that sadness 

And all of her fears 

For a bottle marked heartache 

Full of little red tears 

Yeah, she got them red eyes 

Ah, from doin' the red pills 

And she says it's for the high times 

Yeah, she says it's for thrills 

So she done reds, with her coffee 

With her Pepsis and her gin 

And she said it really did her out fine 

I guess it did, 'cause it's just did her in
