Main Road Songtext
von Lucinda Williams

On the Red River on Bayou Pierre
Rosaleen 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
