Knockout Rose

Everyone knows Knockout Rose
The angel of these streets
Baby’s Breath laced in her hair, bells tied to her feet
The locals tell her lonely story
The words she’ll never speak

She rolls in like a change in the weather
Like she doesn’t have a care
But she’s earned each and every line, life is hardly fair
She’ll shake her head and ask you,
“Don’t you know we all grow old?”

And here on the ground
You can still reach the stars
We are all lost and found
And we each play a part…Knockout Rose

No she never sticks around, but you got to give her credit
The past will drag you down, but only if you let it

Driving on straight through the night,
Filled with restless blue
I am always wanting more
Like there’s something left to prove
Now Rose can always find a friend,
Though people come and go
She rides the waves of fortune
As if she has always known
