Lyrics
"Little Red Wagon" is a song originally written and performed by Audra Mae on her 2012 album Audra Mae & the Almighty Sound. It was covered by Miranda Lambert on her fifth studio album Platinum, and was released as its third single in January 2015.
You only love me for my big sun glasses And my Tony Lamas And my Dodge Dart classic You said "I'll be Johnny and you be June I'll ride with you to the moon" But guess what?
[Chorus:] You can't ride in my little red wagon The front seat's broken and the axel's dragin' You can't step to this backyard swagger You know it ain't my fault when I'm walkin' jaws droppin' like Ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Oh, heaven help me I've been sowing wildflower seeds And chasing tumble weeds But that's just who I be And you're just trying to slow this rolling stone But I'm on to you baby So guess what?
[Chorus:] You can't ride in my little red wagon The front seat's broken and the axel's dragin' No you can't step to this backyard swagger You know it ain't my fault when I'm walkin' jaws droppin' like Ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Oh, you only love me for my big sun glasses And my Tony Lamas I live in Oklahoma And I've got long, blonde hair And I play guitar, and I go on the road And I do all the shit you wanna do And my dog does tricks And I ain't about drama, ya'll And I love my apron But I ain't your mama! So guess what?
[Chorus:] You can't ride in my little red wagon The front seat's broken and the axel's dragin' No you can't step to this backyard swagger You know it ain't my fault when I'm walkin' jaws droppin' like Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh
