Big Red
(Words and Music: Michael Yacci)
- Here's a story my friend told me, so I know it must be true
- He lived in apartment 1 and she lived in 2
- As the evening rolled around in the big city glow
- Right there on the second floor, she put on a show
- A street full of fans waited every night
- Her stage is her window with her apartment light
CHORUS:
- Let's go -- Big Red
- She started out charming but she got into my head
- Big show in the big town
- Don't let them bring, don't let them bring the curtain down
- Maybe she was a dancer, maybe she was a star
- Does she work in the bank or tend the neighborhood bar?
- She walks her scarlet hair home, not a word she would say
- We all waited in the dark for a pull on the shade
- Maybe she likes the danger
- She likes to show her stuff to total strangers
- Now it's many years later so the story is told
- People last saw her wearing diamonds and gold
- She married a governor or someone discreet
- I know he was a fan who used to watch from the street
- Did they think love was the answer?
- Or maybe he just wanted his own private dancer
