[Spoken Bubba] Asked a fellow about a red Ford once. He said he'd never own one. Well I wasn't buying it for him! [Verse Bubba] Had a dream in my pocket, had my keys there in my hand, Asked the whole wide county if they liked my little plan. One said blue, another silver, one said don't you dare, Till I almost traded my own heart for everybody else's fear. [Chorus Duet] Don't give me your fear, don't sell me your doubt, Help me see the road I'm on, don't talk my dream right out. You can tell me what you've learned, and I will gladly hear, But don't give me your fear, no, don't give me your fear. [Verse Darlene] There's a way to offer wisdom without making someone small, Ask what matters to the person, don't just tell them what you'd call. A good friend tells you hazards, helps you look before you steer, But won't turn every highway into someone else's fear. [Chorus Duet] Don't give me your fear, don't sell me your doubt, Help me see the road I'm on, don't talk my dream right out. You can tell me what you've learned, and I will gladly hear, But don't give me your fear, no, don't give me your fear. [Bridge Bubba] If the brakes need fixing, tell me. If the bridge is out, speak plain. But if you just don't like red paint, well that's a different thing! [Boogie Piano and Harmonica] [Final Chorus Duet] Don't give me your fear, I'll not give you mine, We can offer one another truth and leave some room to shine. Love can speak the truth without handing down its fear. [Spoken Darlene] And Bubba? I like the red one.
