《Rose(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Rose - Patti Scialfa

[00:00:41] Rose was a waitress for twenty years or more

[00:00:45] Bringing in the change she was heaven sent

[00:00:50] She taught me how to balance trays when I didn't know what to do

[00:00:55] And I learned to turn tables to make my rent

[00:00:59] She said keep your eye on the work clock

[00:01:02] Keep a dollar in the jukebox

[00:01:06] And there's a bottle of whiskey behind the coffee machine

[00:01:10] Don't talk to the boss

[00:01:12] He's just trouble you don't want to cross

[00:01:15] He's the walking definition of what it is to be mean

[00:01:19] Well I'm going out tonight on the streets of the city

[00:01:25] Going to spend my money tonight

[00:01:30] I'm going out on the streets of the city

[00:01:34] Rose you're pushing fifty but you sure look all right

[00:01:59] Well there's this guy who speaks no English

[00:02:02] And he does the dishes by hand

[00:02:05] You know his pace it never slacks

[00:02:08] I said "Rose he must be one of God's good children"

[00:02:12] She just laughs and says "Yeah

[00:02:14] God's got him doing the dishes all night in the back"

[00:02:18] But he keeps smiling and those plates keep piling up so high

[00:02:25] Seems he can't make a dent

[00:02:28] Me I'm just bitchin' by the service station

[00:02:33] So tired of waiting on all these jokers for a lousy ten percent

[00:02:38] Well I'm going out on the streets of the city

[00:02:43] Going to spend my money tonight

[00:02:48] I'm going out on the streets of the city

[00:02:53] Rose you're pushing fifty but you sure look all right

[00:03:26] Now listen

[00:03:27] I traveled once with this rock and roll band

[00:03:32] And my baby was a hero at every small town bar

[00:03:37] And I watched that summer of '88

[00:03:41] Pass through the rearview mirror of his rented car

[00:03:46] But don't you learn hard and fast that the good times

[00:03:50] They ain't meant to last and that sweet love

[00:03:54] Ain't it the first to disappear

[00:03:57] Rose sometimes I get so frightened

[00:04:01] I don't want to spend the my life

[00:04:03] Working on the graveyard shift here

[00:04:06] Well I'm going out on the streets of the city

[00:04:10] Going to spend my money tonight

[00:04:16] I'm going out on the streets of the city

[00:04:21] Rose you're pushing fifty but you sure look all right
