Hey Rose

Hey there all you wild and pretty women, where'd you go?
 When the winds would blow hard and the dust would settle low
 Storm's coming in so I guess you better get up and go
 Back to the lonely deserts westward out of Hillsdale, Arizona
 Where the girls will treat you friendly, sure but only if you wanna
 Steal a little ride from the riverboat captain tonight
 Hey (hey, hey) there Rose
 Did you think I'd come all this way in vain?
 The weather's getting hotter but I start to see the light
 And I think I might pull over just to stop here for the night
 I see her coming up and I know she won't give me a fight
 And so I start to make my move and splash my face up with some water
 And she tries to put me off but then it only makes me hotter
 Hey there Rose, can you spare some change for the night?
 Hey (hey, hey) there Rose
 Did you think I'd come all this way in vain?
 And drive (drive) down to the center of a coal mine town
 Wash your face and change your frame of mind
 And hard (hard) times, you better stow away your nickels and your dimes
 And throw a rope around a big old tree
 ♪
 I see her in the rearview as I start to drive away
 While she wipes away the teardrops, I thought I heard her say:
 "I think I'll be shooting you down if you won't be mine"
 So I said, "Darling don't you worry I'll be back your way again
 When the sun comes 'round the mountains
 And the moon comes 'round the bend
 Just give it a while and everything's gonna be alright"
