Burnin’ Roses

[Verse 1]
I bought some American beauties, red double knock outs
Yeah I hit Walmart, Walgreens and Betty's flowers 'til I cleaned 'em all out
And then I backed my truck up to her front porch
So she could see the bed of baby I'm sorry's I was there for
She opened the door and said it's a bad time
Wasn't wearin' nothin' but a t-shirt, and it wasn't mine

[Chorus]
And now I'm sittin' on a fender dippin' long stems into kerosene
Flickin' this Bic and brushin' these crimson ashes off my jeans
I ain't drinkin' any whiskey yet or lightin' no left hand cigarettes
I'm just out here all night petal smokin', burnin' roses

[Verse 2]
I keep cuttin' my fingers on these damn thorns
But now there's blood in the dirt but they say love hurts, so I was warned
Theres a storm cloud rollin' but my plans won't change
I'll be out here startin' these fires even in the pourin' rain

[Chorus]
Yeah I'm sittin' on a fender dippin' long stems into kerosene
Flickin' this Bic and brushin' these crimson ashes off my jeans
I ain't drinkin' any whiskey yet or lightin' no left hand cigarettes
I'm just out here all night petal smokin', burnin' roses, oh yeah

[Bridge]
I couldn't dump 'em on the side of the road or just throw 'em all away
After all that cost me, all my dreams and half of one week's pay

[Chorus]
Yeah I'm sittin' on a fender dippin' long stems into kerosene
Flickin' this Bic and brushin' these crimson ashes off my jeans
I ain't drinkin' any whiskey yet or lightin' no left hand cigarettes
I'm just out here all night petal smokin', burnin' roses

[Outro]
Yeah I'm burnin' roses, yeah
Aw baby
Yeah I'm gettin' tired of your memory
Don't care if I burn this whole town
