Red Top Mountain Road

MY MAN'S BEEN ACTING STRANGE
BUT HE'S SAYING NOTHIN'S WRONG
HIS WORDS ARE SAME OLD SAME
BUT HIS ACTIONS SING A DIFFERENT SONG
A GUILTY, NO COUNT SONG
HE COMES IN LATE AT NIGHT
TELLIN' ME THAT HE'S DOG TIRED
BUT I KNOW THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT
CAUSE I SMELL SMOKE SO THERE'S GOTTA BE A FIRE
A FIVE-ALARM FIRE

I LET HIM THINK THAT I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S DOIN' AND WHO HE'S WITH
BUT I KNOW WHERE MY BABY GOES
THERE'S A BLACK HAIRED GIRL UP ON THE RIDGE
ON RED TOP MOUNTAIN ROAD

I SAW HIS CAR TURN LEFT
AT OLD STANLEY'S GEN'RAL STORE
AND I DIED A LOVER'S DEATH
CAUSE HE KNOWS THAT AIN'T THE WAY TO OUR FRONT DOOR
YOU TURN RIGHT TO OUR FRONT DOOR
I FOLLOWED LIKE A THIEF
WATCHED HIM PULL UP TO HER HOUSE
NOW MY SORROW IS COMPLETE
CAUSE SHE WALKED OUTSIDE AND KISSED HIM ON THE MOUTH
HIS LYIN', CHEATIN' MOUTH
