Raised on Kentucky hard times She almost starved before she was grown But a good looking' country girl like Red She wouldn't be hungry for too long And it didn't take long to find out Wasn't no use in walking when she could ride So she pulled out of Kentucky Lookin' good and feeling lucky Whole lotta woman, that country Red Sweet country Red
With a whole lot of hair hanging down She found it wasn't hard to make life easy With eyes as blue as a country sky She made some laugh and she made some cry Whole lotta woman, that country Red Sweet country Red
You know she's gonna be just what she's gonna be There ain't nobody gonna change her She just wants a little bit more of what she's never had And Lord knows, I'd be the last to blame her Sweet country Red
Now she's living and loving Getting all the good out of the good times So don't ever say she's running wild Unless you've been a hungry child And grew up on the hard times Like country Red Sweet country Red
She's just having herself a good time Sweet country Red Getting the good out of the good times Sweet country Red She ain't worried about the hard times Sweet country Red She's just having herself a good time Sweet country Red
