Ned Farr & The Good Red Road

Lyrics

Staring at the road I know she’s coming, I know she’s coming and I’m ready to go
I can hear the car, I see her driving, I see her driving and I’m ready to go
Staring at the floor, my heart is pumping, my heart is pumping and I’m ready to fly
Now I’m out the door, she sees me running, she sees me coming and drives…right by

I had just sat down on my porch, when I saw the whole damn thing
There was a lovesick boy, stuck on chain, with all the misery it brings
So I hobbled across the street, lobed a beer can at his feet
Felt a duty to tell this moonstruck son what my father once said to me

Be careful what you wish for tonight
Cause when the dog chases the car
He gets taken for a ride
Be careful what you wish for tonight
Cause when the dog catches the car
Who survives the bite?

Well he told me he loved this woman and he wanted to bend the knee
Ooooooh
I said son you’re acting just like a pound dog, just a laying down at her feet
Ooooooh
Son you gotta be more aggressive, and bite them pretty hands that feed
Ooooooh
And if she don’t come, without being called, you’re gonna be running for eternity
Ahhhhhh
So many red flags on this one, they warn it’s just not meant to be
So many red flags to scare him off, too bad it’s a color that a dog can’t see

Be careful what you wish for tonight
Cause when the dog chases the car
He gets taken for a ride
Be careful what you wish for tonight
Cause when the dog catches the car
Who survives the bite?
(Who survives the bite?)

Staring at the road I know she’s coming,
I know she’s coming and I’m ready to go
I can hear the car, I see her driving,
she’s coming back now and I’m ready to roll
Staring at my hands, my heart is pumping,
my heart is pumping and I’m ready for fun
Now I’m in the road you see me running,
just watch me gunning, chasing dreams in the sun

SUUUUUUNNNNN
Oh, she’s the one, yes, she’s the one
Though I’ve just been told, careful what you wish for
Cuz what you wish for can steal the bone

AAAAAAAHHHHHH
Oh see me run, I know she’s the one, she says I’m the one
Though I’ve just been told, careful what you wish for
Cuz what you wish for can steal the bone

Well, I watched them drive away
And they’re happy as can be
One of these days I’ll ignore my advice
And find myself some company

But be careful what you wish for tonight, old man
Be careful what you wish for tonight, understand

Be careful …..Be careful

Be careful, careful
Who survives the bite?
Be careful, careful
Who survives the bite?

Be careful what you wish for tonight
Cause when the dog chases the car
He gets taken for a ride
Be careful what you wish for tonight
Cause when the dog catches the car
Who survives the bite?
(Who survives the bite?)

Be careful, careful
Who survives the bite?

Be careful, careful
……Who survives the bite?
Who survives the bite?
Be careful, careful
……Who survives the bite?
Be careful, careful
……Who survives the bite?
