Blue Asian Reds

Yeah, she got them red eyes

Ah, from doin' the red pills

And she says it's for the high times

Yeah, she says it's for thrills



So she done reds, with her coffee

With her Pepsis and her gin

And she says it really does her out fine

But it's just doin' her in



You see she lost her soldier boy

Over in Nam

And she found out a year ago Wednesday

When after work she come home



And she read his latest letter

That said never again would he leave her alone

And besides it all the telegrams

That said he was gone



Oh, she cried and she cried

Yeah, for nearly a year

Then I guess she just lost the will to live

Like she lost that soldier so dear



'Cause she just traded in all that sadness

And all of her fears

For a bottle marked heartache

Full of little red tears



Yeah, she got them red eyes

Ah, from doin' the red pills

And she says it's for the high times

Yeah, she says it's for thrills



So she done reds, with her coffee

With her Pepsis and her gin

And she said it really did her out fine

I guess it did, 'cause it's just did her in
