Trouble With Roses - Nanci Griffith
I worked hard for that rose You may have it when you go 'Cause it's the dreaming it lends Worth holding here And when the outbound lane brings me trouble again If my heart's in the wind I wanna hold it near [Chorus:] Don't say no, it's not part of this show When the lights were down low Your eyes were closing too Now the bar is closing I can leave here knowing That the dreams are still growing As long as you're holding that rose My pockets are clean Though they're empty half the time I spend my half times in dreamin' Least I ain't wastin' lines And the boys that I know, Lord their questions get old 'Cause it's the boys who ask questions & the Man who knows [Chorus] Take care of that rose, it's my dreams that you're holdin' When you hold that rose
