Description: One of Steve’s catchiest melodies and Jim’s best hook lines. A fun, upbeat, character‑driven country song about a fiery red‑haired woman who’s tough to the world but tender with the man she loves. Playful, warm, and full of personality.
Artist Fit: Jon Pardi, Midland, Cody Johnson, Randall King, and Drake Milligan. It also aligns with mainstream artists who lean into charm and humor such as Blake Shelton, Luke Combs (early catalog), Chris Young, and Dierks Bentley. It would also work well in the Red Dirt and Texas country lane with artists like Josh Abbott Band or Aaron Watson.

Lyrics
She’s my baby with the long red hair,
The fiery temper and the icy stare,
She’s hard to handle but mighty fair to see,
When she’s got those daggers shooting from her eyes,
You know she’s never gonna compromise,
She’s that way
But she’s not that way with me.
Took my baby to the rodeo,
Well, she went crazy cause she loved the show,
Her bright red hair was flowin’ wild and free,
When a cowboy hit on her, she cut him dead,
He looked at me, and I smiled- and said,
She’s that way
But she’s not that way with me.
I love all her honest ways,
I love the way she feels,
It don't matter what comes down,
She always keeps it real.
She always stand by me, no matter who abandons me, and she knows it goes double with me.
Other girls they were a lot of fun,
But my red haired baby girl, well, she’s the one,
She comes along but she don’t come easily,
Yeah, she looks sometimes just like she’s made of stone,
But I know different when we’re all alone.
She’s that way but she’s not that way with me.
