Red Bandana

Red Bandana
We left home when were barely past eleven-teen
Been back and fourth and all around through hell and rain
I’ve loved you half of your life and Ill keep on loving you
But I can’t change and live the way you want me to

Chorus
That red bandana tied around your auburn hair
You look like you ought to be somebody’s wife somewhere
You ain’t never going to be no Bobby Mcgee but your trying to
But I can’t change and live the way you want me to

We spend a lot of time out on the highway
Coming from some town we played along the way
After twenty years and knowing me the way you do
You know I can’t change and live the way you want me to

Repeat Chorus

Every time you leave the stage I know you’ve had your fill
And I wonder why you grew up and why I never will
Hey I’m thirty-one today still going on twenty-two
But I can’t change and live the way you want me to

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

You ain’t never going to be no Bobby Mcgee but your trying to
