Red Red Red

Chorus

Red cups up and the pitcher ain't empty

Red coolaide running like a river through me

Pour it slow watch the sugar go dizzy

Red coolaide baby that's the whole city

Post-Chorus

Red red red (red red red)

Stir it up again (stir it up again)

Verse 1

Mama kept a jug in the back of the fridge

Powder in a scoop and a wooden spoon bridge

Sunday after church we would line up single file

Ice clinking loud in a plastic little pile

She'd hum while she stirred it

Never measured nothing

Just a pinch and a prayer

And a whole lot of trusting

Chorus

Red cups up and the pitcher ain't empty

Red coolaide running like a river through me

Pour it slow watch the sugar go dizzy

Red coolaide baby that's the whole city

Post-Chorus

Red red red (red red red)

Stir it up again (stir it up again)

Verse 2

Now I'm grown and I mix it in a bigger bowl

Same red tint same crooked little swirl

Cousins on the porch hollering bout a refill

Some things don't change and I hope they never will

Cherry and a lemon

Sugar stacked to the brim

One sip and I'm seven

Back on the kitchen linoleum

Chorus

Red cups up and the pitcher ain't empty

Red coolaide running like a river through me

Pour it slow watch the sugar go dizzy

Red coolaide baby that's the whole city

Bridge

Tip it to the light

Watch it glow like a ruby

Never going dry

Long as family's near me

Chorus

Red cups up and the pitcher ain't empty

Red coolaide running like a river through me

Pour it slow watch the sugar go dizzy

Red coolaide baby that's the whole city

Post-Chorus

Red red red (red red red)

Stir it up again (stir it up again)
