Rose Knows

David Allan Coe · Other Songs - David Allan Coe

I told you from the start I couldn't give you my heart

it belonged to someone else

I tried like hell but still we fell I guess we could not help ourselves

You sure felt good in my world little girl but it's time to draw the line

Cause there's a lady who's mine and she's not the kind

to just die upon the vine

Rose knows something's going on Rose knows she's spending

too much time alone

I suppose better get myself back home Rose knows something's going on

[ guitar - steel ]

I'd love to stay here and lay down with you dear and hold you one more time

I wish it could be but unfortunately I've got roses on my mind

Rose knows something's going on...

Rose knows something's going on...
