Rose Garden
Rose Garden
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give, so live and let live and let go
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You'd better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain some time
The Devil Sent You to Lorado
The Devil Sent You to Lorado
I still remember the piano
Playing the same old melodies
The late-night crowd was wild and loud
But then a shot outside the barroom
… And then I saw you for the first time
The way you stepped out of the dark
Up to the bar, said, "Here we are
Whiskey for me, for you Tequila"
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
A man with such a face in such a lonesome place
Can only be a desperado
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
And when I heard you'd stay, I felt it right away
You'd shake my life like a tornado
… I still remember the piano
Playing a different melody
You won at cards, you won at darts
Left all the men without a dollar
… And now you gotta leave Lorado
They want you out of here by noon
Oh, I can tell I'm in a spell
So, here we go to Amarillo
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
A man with such a face in such a lonesome place
Can only be a desperado
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
And when I heard you'd stay, I felt it right away
You'd shake my life like a tornado
… The devil, the devil
The devil (devil, devil, devil, devil, devil, devil, devil, devil)
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
A man with such a face in such a lonesome place
Can only be a desperado
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
And when I heard you'd stay, I felt it right away
You'd shake my life like a tornado
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
A man with such a face in such a lonesome place
Can only be a desperado
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
And when I heard you'd stay, I felt it right away
You'd shake my life like a tornado
… The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
Because he knew that I was there
A man with such a face in such a lonesome place
Can only be a desperado
The devil sent you to Lorado (the devil, the devil)
