    • Verse 1

    She 

    hears the beckoning call 
    of night 

    Neon 
    fingers 
    touch
    ing her 

    with light 

    And she runs 
    to join the movers 

    on the midnight 
    carousel 

    Call
    ing faster 
    to a 
    barker she 

    knows 
    all too 
    well 

    Verse 2
    Hey, girl, 
    you best slow down 

    Lose your good 
    name in town 


    All of God's children 
    home in bed 


    And you're out lookin' 
    for a man 

    in red 

    Verse 3
    She feels the wind 
    of 
    summer dart 

    Rolling 
    down the 
    alleys of 

    her heart 

    As she turns 
    to 
    join the dancers, 

    he is waiting 
    in the line 

    Star
    ing at her 
    soul and claim

    ing, you 
    are mine 

    Verse 4
    Hey, 
    girl, you best 
    go 'way 
    Leave 

    the dark, leave 
    today 

    All 
    of God's children home 
    in bed 

    And you're 
    out runnin' with a man 

    in red 

    Yes, I know, 
    I know it's 
    Verse 5
    true 

    You are wise, 
    but I'm not 
    you 

    I am 
    flame 

    And 
    light
    ning 

    And 
    the stars 

    Let me 
    burn up 
    in the 
    nighttime 

    In the 
    springtime 
    of my years 

    I 
    will not 
    wear 
    your pain 
    of guilt 

    Or hear 
    your 
    tears 

    Verse 6

    She feels 
    his hands upon 

    her face 

    He leads her 
    dancing 
    from this place 

    To a 
    field of nightly 
    revels where 

    the 
    caller plants 
    the 
    seed 

    She 
    burns her world 
    behind her, 

    he's all she 
    needs 

    Verse 7
    Hey 
    girl, you can't 
    go home 

    Leave 
    your good folks 
    alone 

    All 
    of God's children home 
    in bed 

    And you're 
    out sinnin' with a man 

    in red 

    Verse 8
    When they knew 
    all their fields 

    were 
    sown 

    He left her 
    by the road 
    alone 

    But 
    that 
    road was 
    going somewhere 

    worth the price 
    there was to 
    pay 

    Now 
    she waits 
    for morning 

    to be 
    on her 
    way 

    Hey 
    girl, we told 
    you so 
    Strangers 
    come and strangers 
    go 

    Verse 9
    While 

    good girls were home 

    in bed 

    Verse 10
    You were taken by a 
    man in red 

    Yes, I know, 
    I know it's true 

    You are wise, 
    but I'm 
    not you 

    I am 
    flame 

    And lightning 

    An
    d the stars

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
