Trouble With Roses

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

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

And the Man who knows

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

Take care of that rose, it's my dreams that you're holdin'

When you hold that rose
