Red Leg Boy Lyrics - Terry Allen

Chorus: 

Missouri born 

Red leg boy 

He just born 

Yeah to playin the ball 

Ain't much good 

For much else at all 

He just born 

Yeah to playin the ball 

Run from home 

He couldn't wait 

To hold his ground 

Hey behind the plate 

Hit the ball 

You're on your own 

Same damn thing 

You tryin to get back home 

Chorus 

Lived his life 

Movin around 

Playin the ball 

Hey from town to town 

Saw everything 

He wanted to see 

Weren't nothin else 

That he wanted to be 

Chorus 

Got too old 

To play the ball 

Settled down 

But remembered it all 

Lived it out 

Until he died 

Cussin the Yankees 

Ah Satisfied 

Chorus
