Screen Door slappin′ somewhere on a side porch
A sleepy morning way out in the boondocks
Stories are being told on the red clay

Red clays where we came from to begin with
And where will go when time comes for splitting
Sands being dug on the red clay

Moving,
Always groovin
Morning,
Midnight sleep tight

Someone's playing something on the back steps
The happy faces look out of the windows
Always something good on the red clay
-
Waiting for the paper in the evening
You watch the roses climb out of their earth bed′s
Lives being lived on the red clay

Smoothing down my baby when she's tired out
I tell her fun things and watch her start smiling
Nobody's even sad on my red clay

Your move,
My move check me
She moves,
They move dig me

Red clay′s just a dirt but it′s a large sum
So what you doing just sitting there goofin'
Always a lot to do on the red clay.
