Hmm... I always thought that "red letters" referred to letters, as in mail. You receive them, all for free - the postage is already paid - and the only thing you have to do is to open it, and you'll receive the contents; Love, truth, hope, peace, forgiveness, life. And they're red, due to the blood that Jesus shed to pay the price.
The explanation with the Bibles highlighting the words of God with red letters makes more sense, though - hence the first verse, and Kevin Max's line of "It's the book of love" in the bridge.
On that note, though, I think highlighting with exactly red in those Bibles is symbolic of the blood of the Lord.
