The Lonesome Rose

I'm so tired of crying, my flowers dying

Couldn't sow a seed to save my life but I keep trying

I think a storm must be rolling in

I smell the change in the raindrops in the wind

If I could find it, you'd probably buy it

There goes my heart and my soul, I hope you like it

But it seems the well is running dry

So I'm drinking well tonight

At the lonesome rose

Only place I ever want to go

To heal my soul

It's flower petals to the metal

At the lonesome rose

Now this could date me, and you can call me crazy

But people used to praise me and now I'm pushing daisies

Wore rose colored glasses so many years

And all the red flags simply disappeared

So stop and smell 'em, flowers while you still can

Take a couple home, make a bed out of them

And pour a spirit if your heart is torn

Cause everybody's felt some thorns

At the lonesome rose

Only place I ever want to go

To heal my soul

It's flower petals to the metal

At the lonesome rose
