james alan - red lyrics
my brother was a dealer
so, my mom, i couldn’t heal her
and my dad, he just shook his head.
as a kid i couldn’t run
and lighting up wasn’t fun
so i picked up a guitar instead.
my friends grew up sideways
hidden under highways
slinging out of truck beds.
though i’ll love them for life
i wouldn’t be surpirsed
if they wound up on a corner dead.
singing, “nah, nah nah”
in a room i painted red
this haunted home
is where i lay my head
nah, nah, nah
in a room i painted red
this haunted home
is where i said,
“i know this is wrong
this feeling that maybe i belong
and i know this ain’t right
but this is life
oh, what a life.”
i became cunning
but i took to running
like i had a price on my head.
cause my past was a monster
and the memory haunts
of the days i lived in the red.
though i was still a youngin’
i swear i saw it comin’
when my family all ripped to shreds.
cause my brother was a dealer
so, my mom, i couldn’t heal her
and my dad, he just shook his head.
said my brother was a dealer
so, my mom, i couldn’t heal her
and daddy just shook his head.
“nah, nah nah”
in a room i painted red
this haunted home
is where i lay my head
nah, nah, nah
in a room i painted red
this haunted home
is where i said,
“i know this ain’t right
but i feel as though maybe this is my life
and i know this is wrong
but maybe i belong
tell me now.”
my brother was a dealer
so, my mom, i couldn’t heal her
and my daddy just shook his head.
and all our dreams
were tearing at the seams
like a worn out blanket on my bed.
said my brother was a dealer
so, my mom, i couldn’t heal her
and my daddy just shook his head.
but i’m done crying
and i’m sick of hiding
in a room i painted red.
