[Verse 1]

I'm going to where the sun burns

And the heat stays in command

Come and lay by my side

Right here

To where the river turns to dust

And God is never rushed

Come and lay by my side

Right here

[Refrain]

Red, I love you and the world

[Verse 2]

It seemed to make sense

When Brother Santo said

"One more run be enough"

Gonna be enough

Money for everything

Silver-toed boots and kerosene, nuh-huh

Come and lay by my side

Right here

[Refrain]

Red, I love you and the world

[Verse 3]

Well, the buzzing, stink, and the chokin'

I can't stay no more

Come and lay by my side

Right here

[Refrain]

Red, I need you and the world

[Bridge]

When I see you behind the glass

I forget that I'm in the cage

They bring me to Sunday mass

But it never wiped the rage

[Refrain]

Red, I love you and the world

[Verse 4]

Seven months gone and seven years to go

Rage, I can't stay no more

Come and lay by my side

Right here

[Outro]

Red, I love you and the world

Red, I need you and the world
