Running Out of Roses
Sometimes I work too late, forget to call on my break
Didn't take the trash to the road
By now I should know every which way that woman thinks
Didn't take the pen out of my pocket last time I did the washin'
Stained her favorite going out dress
It was a hell of a mess, Lord, I wonder this time what it'll cost me
I know I might drive her crazy
Ain't got but one solution
She's running flat out of patience
And I'm running out of excuses
Yeah, any time I cross the line, it cost me $12.99
Now I'm running on out to smooth it
Over the hill, that Kroger's sign's glowin'
Might run out of luck, but one thing I know is
I ain't running out of roses
It takes a $2 vase; past two weeks I've bought a case
I throw the wrapper on the floorboard, cut the stems a little shorter
With a card that says I'm sorry, signed, the man you love to hate
I know I might drive her crazy
Ain't got but one solution
She's running flat out of patience
And I'm running out of excuses
Yeah, any time I cross the line, it cost me $12.99
Now I'm running on out to smooth it
Over the hill, that Kroger's sign's glowin'
Might run out of luck, but one thing I know is
I ain't running out of roses
They know my name when I walk in, say hey BD
You back again? We keep the good stash in the back
You won't find these out on the rack
Them rosy reds are beautiful
Hey Joe, give me my usual
Well, I know I might drive her crazy
Ain't got but one solution
She's running flat out of patience, yeah she is
And I'm all out of excuses
Yeah, any time I cross the line, it cost me $12.99
Now I'm running on out to smooth it
Over the hill, that Kroger's sign's glowin'
Might run out of luck, but one thing I know is
I ain't running out of roses
Oh, I ain't running out of roses
Didn't take the trash to the road
By now I should know every which way that woman thinks
Didn't take the pen out of my pocket last time I did the washin'
Stained her favorite going out dress
It was a hell of a mess, Lord, I wonder this time what it'll cost me
I know I might drive her crazy
Ain't got but one solution
She's running flat out of patience
And I'm running out of excuses
Yeah, any time I cross the line, it cost me $12.99
Now I'm running on out to smooth it
Over the hill, that Kroger's sign's glowin'
Might run out of luck, but one thing I know is
I ain't running out of roses

I ain't running out of roses
Oh, I ain't running out of roses
