David Allan Coe Rose Knows Lyrics:
I told you from the start,
I couldn't give you my heart,
It belonged to someone else.
I tried like hell but still we fell,
I guess we could not help ourselves.
You sure felt good in my world, little girl,
But it's time to draw the line.
'Cause there's a lady who's mine,
And she's not the kind
To just die upon the vine.

Rose knows something's going on.
Rose knows she's spending too much time alone.
I suppose, better get myself back home,
Rose knows something's going on.

[Instrumental break featuring steel guitar.]

I'd love to stay here,
And lay down with you, dear,
And hold you one more time.
I wish it could be, but unfortunately,
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/H4n ]
I've got roses on my mind.

Rose knows something's going on.
Rose knows she's spending too much time alone.
I suppose, better get myself back home,
Rose knows something's going on.

[Fade.]
Rose knows something's going on.
Rose knows she's spending too much time alone...

[1] From the liner notes, Coe writes, "Dedication: When I first heard this
song about two years ago I thought it was great, but at the time I wasn't
into doing other people's song [s] . However, after all these years, I still
think it's a good song and that's all that matters to me now. Doing good
songs no matter who writes them."]
