Hey, Rose
Who put thorns around your heart
so nobody else would ever get too close?
Hey, Rose
Did somebody start a fire just to put it out
and leave you in the smoke?
Did the one who came before me
come along and steal the glory from your soul?
Hey, Rose

You're the kind of growin' wild that don't come by the dozen
There's a million colors in your eyes
and pretty's just one of 'em
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

Damn, Rose
I wish it'd been me that caught you
when you fell for what you thought might be forever
Sweet Rose
It's too late to stop the rain
but maybe there's a chance for me to be some shelter

'Cause you're the kind of growin' wild
that don't come by the dozen
There's a million colors in your eyes
and pretty's just one of 'em
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

Just because they're wasted tears
don't mean they fell for nothin'
Hey, Rose, don't you know?

You're the kind of growin' wild
I wouldn't change for nothin'
There's a million colors in your eyes
and pretty's just one of 'em
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

Hey, Rose
Hey, Rose
Hey, Rose
