That's Your Red Wagon
Navigating Life's Bumps: That's Your Red Wagon Wisdom
Lyrics
If you wanna go crazy, be the clown
If you want to act recklessly or impulsively, playing the fool
Be the laughing stock all over town
Accept being the subject of mockery or ridicule in the entire community
That's your red wagon
That behavior or situation represents your own problem or responsibility
That's your red wagon
Repeated emphasis on the previous line
So just keep draggin' your red wagon along
Continue carrying the consequences or burden of your actions
If you stick your nose someplace it don't belong
Interfering where you're not welcome or involved
Doncha come to me if things go wrong
Don't expect help or sympathy from me if it goes awry
That's your red wagon
Similar to lines 3 and 4, reiterating personal responsibility
That's your red wagon
Repeated emphasis on the previous line
So just keep draggin your red wagon along
Continuing to deal with your own problems
When you're making your bed, don't forget who'll do the lyin' there
Remember who will suffer the consequences of your actions
And when you butter your bread
While enjoying the benefits, don't expect me to bear the consequences
Don't expect me to eat your share
Not expecting assistance or support from me in your endeavors
If you wanna play the horses
If you choose to take risks or gamble
Doncha come to me if they don't show
Don't seek assistance if it doesn’t go well
That's your red wagon, that's your red wagon
Reiterating that the responsibility or consequences are solely yours
So just keep draggin your red wagon along
Repeated emphasis on the previous line
Now you've finally learned you'll get burned if you play with fire
Having learned the consequences of risky behavior
So don't come runnin to me you can't use me for your spare tire
Not being available for someone who treats you as a backup plan or last resort
If you wanna sing me love songs, don't know my key
If you want to express love to me
Don't you come singin' the blues to me
Don't expect sympathy or understanding when expressing sorrow or regret
That's your red wagon, oh, that's your red wagon
Repeated emphasis on personal responsibility
So just keep draggin your red wagon along
Continuing to bear the consequences of your actions or decisions
That's your red wagon, your red wagon, oh, your red wagon, yea, your red wagon
Reiteration of personal responsibility and consequences
So just keep draggin your red wagon along
Continuing to deal with the repercussions of your actions
