Lyrics

YELLOW ROSE

WHEN THE WORKING DAY IS THROUGH I HEAD DOWN TOWN. MAKE MY WAY TO THE YELLOW ROSE AND TAKE MY PLACE IN THE CROWD. I SEE HER THERE THROUGH THE SMOKE AND NEON BUT I DON’T CATCH HER EYE. I BLEND IN AT THE BACK CORNER BAR WHILE THE BOYS ALL RAISE THERE GLASSES HIGH.

HERE’S TO THE QUEEN OF THE YELLOW ROSE. WITH HER CHESTNUT HAIR AND HER FISHNET HOSE. WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN TONIGHT SHE’LL BE THERE ON HER THRONE. HERE’S TO THE QUEEN OF THE YELLOW ROSE.

THERE’S ONE MORE DANCE AND ONE MORE ROUND AS I MAKE MY WAY TO THE DOOR. I RUN HOME TO REST HER MOMMA FROM WATCHING OUR LITTLE GIRL. SHE GETS IN AND THE HOUSE IS DARK AS SHE MAKES HER WAY TO THE BED. LEAVES A PILE OF ONE’S ON THE BAR AS THICK AS THE WORRIES IN MY HEAD.

HERE’S TO THE QUEEN OF THE YELLOW ROSE. KEEPING US FEED AND THE KID IN CLOTHES. DOING WHAT SHE’S GOTTA DO TO KEEP THIS THING AFLOAT. HERE’S TO THE QUEEN OF THE YELLOW ROSE.

WHEN THIS PIPELINE COMES THROUGH WE’LL BE BACK ON SOLID GROUND. HONEY IT WON’T BE LONG TILL YOU LAY THAT CRUSHED VELVET DOWN.

REPEAT CHORUS 1
