The Roses Lyrics
Roll me down one more cigarette
And I will watch it burn
All the way down to my fingers
Pour it slow
Two fingers of bourbon over ice
Ain’t no need for water
I never got over you
You had me and you let me go
If I thought that I could
I’d fall back with you in the roses
I’ve been lookin’ for that place it seems for years
And if I thought that I could
I’d fall back with you in the roses
But roses have thorns
Roses have thorns
Tell me was it real
Or just an illusion
I remember you lovin’ me
Tell me do you remember me too
You took control
Over my soul and my body
And you still hold the key
Oh, my baby, oh what you do to me
If I thought that I could
I’d fall back with you in the roses
I’ve been lookin’ for that place it seems for years
Oh, if I thought that I could
I’d fall back with you in the roses
But roses have thorns
Roses have thorns
There are nights when I think of you
L.A. and Baton Rouge with my head on your shoulder
While you’d sing me to sleep
I could drink a case of you
If I thought that I could
I’d fall back with you in the roses
I’ve been lookin’ for that place it seems for years
Oh, if I thought that I could
I’d fall back with you in the roses
But roses have thorns
Roses have thorns
Roses have thorns
Roses have thorns
