Rose Hill

There's a special place that I like to go
Where the trains crawl by and the river runs slow
And when I close my eyes
I can still hear the band play

A locomotive keeps the time
Like Butch and Barry in their prime
Otis sits and smiles but there's no bay

Time goes by in a blink of an eye
Rock and roll will never die
Even the brightest stars fade away
I've found heaven on earth
Yes it's true
On a shady hill where the roses bloom
And when I die
I hope this is where I'll lay

The angels quickly gather 'round
Waiting on that heavenly sound
As the king of the blues
Slowly begins to sing

Elizabeth Reed still looks fine
Little Martha laughs all the time
As Skydog's devilish slide warms their wings

Time goes by in a blink of an eye
Rock n roll will never die
Even the brightest stars fade away
I've found heaven on earth
Yes it's true
On a shady hill where the roses bloom
And when I die
I hope this is where I'll lay

The sun is setting and the moon hangs low
The final act of a world class show
The light's so bright I can't turn away

Troubles come and troubles go
We live our lives to learn and grow
Everybody gets their turn on
Judgment day

Time goes by in a blink of an eye
Rock n roll will never die
Even the brightest stars fade away
I've found heaven on earth
Yes it's true
On a shady hill where the roses bloom
And when I die
I hope this is where I'll lay

Oh, when I die
I hope this is where I'll lay

When I die
I hope this is where I'll lay
