White Is Red

[Verse 1]

Frankie was a heart-breaker; I didn't know it at the start

She was only sixteen when she went and broke my heart

[Pre-Chorus]

And she pulled up in her dad's car wearin' white

She said she knew a place where we could hide

She didn't have her license, but she told me I could drive

So I drove all night

[Chorus 1]

"Why don't you leave me?" she asked that night

I said, "I'll stay; I know the kid is mine

I'd never leave you; it isn't right

Let's stay together until the end of time"

[Refrain]

Oh, now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

Oh, now the white is red

[Verse 2]

"I heard that there's a place where we can go

Across the state there's no one that we know

Or maybe rent a place where we can stay

Where what we have would go a longer way"

[Pre-Chorus]

Then Frankie turned to me; she looked me in the eye

She said that I looked tired; she told me she could drive

I pulled up to the station, walked through the neon lights

Then she put her foot down, down, down, down

[Chorus]

Why did you leave me alone that night?

You took off racing; the kid is mine

You left me standing out on the yellow line

The taillight's fading into the night

[Post-Chorus]

We crossed the line

We crossed the line

We crossed the line

We crossed the line

[Refrain]

Oh, now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

Oh, now the white is red

[Bridge]

I don't know why she left, took off racin'

I ran down, yellow line, red lights fadin'

She went left, double line, outta love, outta time

I covered eyes; I know she crossed the line

She crossed the line

She crossed the line

She crossed the line

She crossed the line

She crossed the line

She crossed the line

She crossed the line

She crossed the line

[Refrain]

Oh, now the white is red

Can't get it outta my head

Oh, now the white is red
