Thistle

There's a thistle by the roadside
It's purple and rare
Something you look at
But not something you dare
Put your hands on it
Your liable to bleed
Something you look at
Not something you see

She's rough and she's lonesome
Like the north Georgia Pines
Had her a cowboy
But couldn't keep him in line
Thistle by the roadside I can't leave behind

It took a while for her to notice
Damn near 45
What others had taken
You know she paid the price
You tip the chair far enough back
Your liable to fall
I wanted to fix her but that'd be her call

She's rough and she's lonesome
Like the north Georgia Pines
Had her a cowboy
But couldn't keep him in line
She's a thistle by the roadside I just can't leave behind

Her innocence was stolen
Now her horses are free
The dirt is where she's calm now
That's where a thistle breath's
I guess that she had one more ace up her sleeve

She's rough and she's lonesome
Like the north Georgia Pines
Had her a cowboy
But couldn't keep him in line
I begged her to love me but those stars don't align
I Can't get her
Out of my mind, Out of my mind

Out of my mind, Out of my mind

She's a thistle by the roadside I just can't leave behind
