Hopeless Rose
HOPELESS ROSE
BARRIS, RANDALL, ALEXANDER, MONROE
SHE LIVES OUT ON THE EDGE OF TOWN, DON’T COME OUT TILL THE SUN GOES DOWN RUBY RED LIPS JUST MADE FOR SIN,
A SWEET PERFUME THAT’LL DRAW YOU IN HE KNOWS HER REPUTATION,
BUT THROUGH HIS BLOOD SHOT EYES
SHE’S WRAPPED AROUND HIS FINGER,
AND HE’S TANGLED IN HER VINES
HE’S JUST A WHISKEY FOOL
IN LOVE WITH A HOPELESS ROSE SHE’LL TAKE HIM TO HER GARDEN, WHERE NOTHIN’ EVER GROWS.
HE WATERS HER WITH BOURBON AND EVERYBODY KNOWS,
HE’S JUST A WHISKEY FOOL,
IN LOVE WITH HOPELESS ROSE.
HE KNOWS HER HEART IS WRAPPED IN THORNS, BUT HE KEEPS COMIN’ BACK FOR MORE
SHE NUMBS HIM WITH HER POISON KISS,
AND HE’S SO WEAK HE CAN’T RESIST.
SHE WANTS TO SEE HIM CRAWL,
HE WANTS TO SEE HER BLOOM.
SO HERE THEY GO AGAIN
ON ANOTHER DRUNKEN RENDEVOUS.
HE’S JUST A WHISKEY FOOL
IN LOVE WITH A HOPELESS ROSE SHE’LL TAKE HIM TO HER GARDEN, WHERE NOTHIN’ EVER GROWS.
HE WATERS HER WITH BOURBON AND EVERYBODY KNOWS,
HE’S JUST A WHISKEY FOOL,
IN LOVE WITH HOPELESS ROSE.
HE WATERS HER WITH BOURBON AND EVERYBODY KNOWS,
HE’S JUST A WHISKEY FOOL,
IN LOVE WITH HOPELESS ROSE.
