Red Shahan - Roses

{Verse 1}
I've been around
But barely alive
Holdin’ the door for everything I love
Kiss her goodbye
Is it the money I need?
Or is it the miles that keep
Leading me straight from everything that's good
In this world for me?

{Chorus}
So hold on, Savannah
I'm close behind
Slow down the good times
I’m not the quittin' kind
I laid off the hard stuff
But I don't feel right
So if it's all roses for me
Why are they black and white?

{Verse 2}
Having one of those days
I could burn it all down
So I just keep to myself
And hope the medicine drowns me
I shot at the moon tonight
Copper and lead in flight
Only to go so far and fall
Out of sight and out of mind

{Chorus}
So hold on, Savannah
I'm close behind
Slow down the good times
I'm not the quittin' kind
I laid off the hard stuff
But I don't feel right
So if it’s all roses for me
Why are they black and white?

{Chorus 2}
So hold on, Savannah
I’m close behind
Slow down the good times
I'm not the quittin’ kind
I laid off the hard stuff
So I don't die
But if it's all roses for me
Why are they black and white?
So if it's all roses for me
Why are they black and white?
