Red-Haired Girl

Verse 1

I've lost a couple friends along the way

Watched some good times turn to yesterday

Had a few dreams fall apart in my hands

Learned some things don't work out like you plan

I've seen a paycheck disappear by Friday

Had my heart broke out on an old highway

Thought I knew what it meant to have it all

'Til a red-haired girl made my whole world stop

Pre-Chorus

She had green eyes shining in the summer sun

Little freckles on her nose, Lord, I was done

Didn't know it then, but I know it now

She's the one thing I can't live without

I ain't scared of gettin' older

Ain't afraid of hard times

But there's one thought that keeps me up

When she's sleepin' by my side

Chorus

I could lose this truck, lose this house

Watch everythin' I've worked for burn down

Let the whole damn world come crashin' through

Long as I got her, I'll make it through

But if I ever lost those green eyes

That little red-haired girl that changed my life

There ain't a road long enough to run

A bottle strong enough to numb

I've got a lot of things I could stand to lose

But God, don't let me lose her too

Verse 2

She got a way of makin' bad days fade

Like sunshine breakin' through a week of rain

She'll laugh at jokes that ain't even funny

And steal my shirts like they don't cost money

She'll get all mad when I leave my boots

Layin' by the door like I always do

But five minute later she's holdin' my hand

Makin' me wanna be a better man

Pre-Chorus

And I know, we ain't always gonna agree

There'll be nights she get tired of dealin' with me

But I'd rather fight through a thousand storms

Than wake up one mornin' with her gone

'Cause I can fix a broken engine

Build a house back from the ground

But I don't know how I'd put my heart

Back together if she wasn't around

Chorus

I could lose this truck, lose this house

Watch everythin' I've worked for burn down

Let the whole damn world come crashin' through

Long as I got her, I'll make it through

But if I ever lost those green eyes

That little red-haired girl that changed my life

There ain't no road long enough to run

A bottle strong enough to numb

I've got a lot of things I could stand to lose

But God, don't let me lose her too

Bridge

If forever's just a word

Then I'll spend my life makin' it true

If lovin' her takes everythin'

That's exactly what I'll do

I'll be the shoulder when she's cryin'

Be the hand that holds on tight

And when the whole world turns against her

I'll be standin' on her side

I can't promise her a perfect life

But I'll love her 'til the day I die

Chorus

I could lose this truck, lose this house

Watch everythin' I've worked for burn down

Let the whole damn world come crashin' through

Long as I got her, I'll make it through

But if I ever lost those green eyes

That little red-haired girl that changed my life

I'd give up every dollar, every dream

Just to keep her right here next to me

I've got a lot of things I could stand to lose

But God, don't let me lose her too

Outro

Yeah, I've lost some things along the way

And I know nothin's guaranteed

But if there's one prayer that I pray

It's that she never stops lovin' me

God...

Don't let me lose her too
