Yeah she got them red eyes

Ahhh from doin the red pills

And she says it's for the high times

Yeah she says it's for thrills

So she does reds...with her coffee

With her pepsi's 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

But beside hit...the telegram

That said he was gone

Ohhh 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

Ahhh from doin the red pills

And she says it's for the high times

Yeah she says it's for thrills

So she does reds...with her coffee

With her pepsi's and her gin

And she says it really does her out fine

But...it's just doin her in
