Out in the western fields behind nowhere, there´s a girl with a flower for a name And when the night time comes creeping the darkness will have her
And she´ll take all of the blame She could take the train out of town in the morning But I bet she´d be back by the spring
Rosie, Rosie, Rosie It´s going to be alright Rosie, Rosie, Rosie Won´t you come inside
And I met her on a Sunday in the churchyard parking lot She´s making noise at all the people inside She says where was your God when my momma was gone and my father couldn´t look me in the eyes She says who do you turn to when the war is coming There´s no one left but you to fight
Rosie, Rosie, Rosie It´s going to be alright Rosie, Rosie, Rosie Won´t you come inside
And I drive 100 miles just to find her curled up in a puddle of blood Because someone got angry and they busted her body and left her to die in the mud She couldn´t see me, she was shaking and crying As I carried her back to my truck
Rosie, Rosie, Rosie It´s going to be alright Rosie, Rosie, Rosie Won´t you come inside
This is no way to live No way to die No way to live No way to die No way to live No way to die No way to live No way to die
So out in the western fields behind nowhere There´s a girl with a flower for a name
