Burnin' Roses

Lyrics

I bought some American beauties
 Red double knockouts
 I hit up Walmart, Walgreens, Betties Flowers 'til I cleaned 'em all out
 Then I back my truck up
 To her front porch
 So she could see the bed of Betty, I'm sorry's I was there for
 She opened the door and said it's a bad time
 Wasn't wear nothing but a t-shirt
 And it wasn't mine
 And now I'm sitting on a fender
 Dipping long stems into kerosene
 Flicking this Bic and brushing these crimson ashes off my jeans
 I ain't saving any whiskey here tonight and no left behind cigarette
 I'm just out here all night petal, smoking it
 Burning roses
 I keep cutting my fingers on these damn thorns
 But now there's blood in the dirt
 But they say love hurts
 So I was warned
 There's a storm cloud rolling but my plans won't change
 I'll be out here starting these fires even in the pouring rain
 Yeah I'm sitting on a fender
 Dipping long stems into kerosene
 Flicking this Bic and brushing these crimson ashes off my jeans
 I ain't saving any whiskey here tonight and no left behind cigarette
 I'm just our here all night petal, smoking it
 Burning roses (Oh yeah)
 I couldn't dump 'em on the side of the road or just throw them all away
 After all they cost me all my dreams and half of one week's pay
 Yeah I'm sitting on a fender
 Dipping long stems into kerosene
 Flicking this Bic and brushing these crimson ashes off of my jeans
 I ain't saving any whiskey here tonight and no left behind cigarette
 I'm just down here all night petal, smoking it
 Burning roses
 Yeah I'm burning roses (Yeah yeah)
 (Oh Betty)
