Lucinda Williams - Main Road Lyrics

On The Red River, on Bayou Pierre

Rosalee worked in White's Grocery

I'd get in trouble for goin' down there

She'd give me corn pops for free



Little red bike out on the main road

Lucky little girl

Little red bike out on the main road

Lucky little girl



Early in the mornin' brother and sister off at school

Mama sent me for wild flowers

Buttercups in the mornin' dew

A little red bike out on the main road too



Ghost tracks, water towers, picnics in a haunted roost

Horses waiting to be groomed need a little sugar too

Train game, moss monster, playin' down in the woods of bamboo

Mr. Black Snake ate all the bad snakes, Mr. Black Snake'll eat you too



Games turn into life

Once a tomboy now a tomwife



Little red bike out on the main road

Lucky little girl

Little red bike out on the main road

Lucky little girl

Lucky little girl
