She could do this.

She closed her eyes again as she started to play, maybe if she couldn't see the class it would help.

Momma was a hot head, daddy was a redneck

Grew up in a single wide when Reagan was president

Spoonin' in a twin size, newlywed business

Didn't know they gonna have themselves a little redhead

She opened her eyes when she couldn't hear anyone booing her off. Julie gave her a thumbs up from where she was sat. Ok maybe she could do this.

Nine months from Valentine's, blamed it on the red wine

Bought a station wagon, stopped runnin' all the red lights

Big eyes, bigger mouth, wild child complex

They didn't have a clue how to raise a little redhead

She could finally feel herself smiling as she got to the chores. She looked over at the boys. Luke looked like a proud dad he was smiling so much. She could hear Alex tapped out the beat on his legs which was helping. She could barely look at Reggie if she did she knew she'd get distracted.

Oh, they got their hands full, tryin' to tame a pistol

Spitfire, freckles that could run among the dead

Clothes line, tightrope, daredevil, high hopes

They raised a little hell when they raised a little redhead

Now tell us how it is, uh-hum

By the time the end of chores she could feel herself smiling. She was actually doing it. Julie and Flynn were dancing in their chairs which made her smile even more.

Living with a sunburn, running with scissors

Daddy's belt couldn't help simmer down the temper

Bull in a china shop, rose-coloured reckless

Tried to run away, but trouble loves a little redhead

Oh, they got their hands full, tryin' to tame a pistol

Spitfire, freckles that could run among the dead

Clothes line, tightropes, daredevil, high hopes

They raised a little hell when they raised a little redhead, mm

As she went into the guitar solo she turned towards the boys, it many have seemed strange to everyone else but Julies heart burst seeing her live again. The boys loved it, Luke jumping in front of her mimicking her guitar playing and she didn't think Reggie's smile could get any bigger.

Oh, they got their hands full, tryin' to tame a pistol

Spitfire, freckles that could run among the dead
