Burnin' Roses

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)
