"Burnin' Roses" lyrics

"Burnin' Roses"

I bought some American beauties, red double knock outs
Yeah I hit Walmart, Walgreens and Betty's flowers 'til I cleaned 'em all out
And then I backed my truck up to her front porch
So she could see the bed of baby I'm sorry's I was there for
She opened the door and said it's a bad time
Wasn't wearin' nothin' but a t-shirt, and it wasn't mine

And now I'm sittin' on a fender dippin' long stems into kerosene
Flickin' this [?] and brushin' this [?] and ashes off my jeans
I ain't drinkin' any whiskey yet or lightin' no left hand cigarettes
I'm just out here all night petal smokin', burnin' roses

I keep cuttin' 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 rollin' but my plans won't change
I'll be out here startin' these fires even in the pourin' rain

Yeah I'm sittin' on a fender dippin' long stems into kerosene
Flickin' this [?] and brushin' this [?] and ashes off my jeans
I ain't drinkin' any whiskey yet or lightin' no left hand cigarettes
I'm just out here all night petal smokin', burnin' roses, oh yeah

I couldn't dump 'em on the side of the road or just throw 'em all away
After all that cost me, all my dreams and half of one week's pay

Yeah I'm sittin' on a fender dippin' long stems into kerosene
Flickin' this [?] and brushin' this [?] and ashes off my jeans
I ain't drinkin' any whiskey yet or lightin' no left hand cigarettes
I'm just out here all night petal smokin', burnin' roses

Yeah I'm burnin' roses, yeah
Aw baby
Yeah I'm gettin' tired of your memory
Don't care if I burn this whole town
