She was looking for that special someone, he was looking for a cheap night of fun.
That’s how they ended up together at the Dew Drop Inn.
A roll of quarters, a jukebox, and a bottle of gin.
He played all the songs by Blake, Luke and Brad. 
She sang along, and she was singing, oh, so bad.
He didn’t care how bad she sang, he kept her drinking till dawn.
A cheap motel, a rendezvous, and her soldier was gone.

Two months later, she’s thinking,”What can I do?”
“He’s been deployed, I’m sitting here, red, white and due.”
Can’t tell her daddy, he would hold her to blame.
She’s not sure she can remember his name.
Lost and alone, crying in the park, she has no clue.
No cash, no hope, just red, white and due.

Her daddy took it hard, he kicked her out the door.	   	
“Get out and stay out, and don't come back no more!”
“You’re gonna ruin my reputation, and slander my good name.”
“Another drain with no last name, it’s always the same.”
Eight months later, she’s got her back to the  wall.
She’s feeling hopeless, no one seems to care at all.
 Can’t tell her daddy, he would hold her to blame.
She’s not sure she can remember his name.
Lost and alone, crying in the park, she has no clue.
No cash, no hope, just red, white and due.



Red, White and Due

What I do right now - is the struggle of living without the one that meant everything.
