Lemonade and Roses - Jack Harris

Everyday he sent a little present Just to let me know how very much he cared Wrote a little love note with each present But to fall in love had me a little scared My poor worried heart was almost certain Shall I fall or shall I let it be? Then he sent a dozen yellow roses and That somehow just turned the trick for me Roses, roses, roses I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring Love is a wonderful thing The rest of my life, it will bring me Roses and roses and roses of love Love is a wonderful thing La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Roses, roses, roses I thank you for saying what we couldn't say Oh, what a wonderful way To tell me he loves me each day With roses and roses and roses of love

What if I told you You're like the bullet to my holster Dangerous but I wanna hold you baby You're there when I go through the motions What if I told you I could sling you off of my shoulder Just like a shotgun to a soldier I bought you all these guns and roses And baby, don't hold nothing back from me I want all your guns and roses She shot me right down She shot me right away She shot me right down She shot me right away She shot me right down She shot me right away She shot me right down She shot me right away What if I told you When we make love its like war is going on Don't leave me wounded in this battlefield This fight for love, is for sure the prologue What if I told you You're my morning cup of folgers Would you sting me with the steam baby Or be my guns and roses Don't hold nothing back from me I ant all your guns and roses She shot me right down She shot me right away She shot me right down She shot me right away She shot me right down She shot me right away She shot me right down She shot me right away Don't hold (She shot me right away) Nothing back from me (She shot me right away) I will hold (She shot me right away) Your guns and roses Don't leave me alone baby Shot me now I'm down weak Don't leave me alone baby I'm alone and I need another round Don't leave me alone baby Shot me now I'm down weak Don't leave me alone baby I'm alone and I need another round

Main results I don't know why I keep believing That one day they'll bring us together When they've shown, in more ways than one That all they care about is the dollar You belong to the one political party I belong to the one musical party Our differences are worlds apart Just like guns and roses If we don't take control of the situation We'll stay forever in this ya commotion These guns and the roses That we've got to live with These guns and the roses That we've got to live with These guns and the roses That we've got to live with How can five years of power Destroy a lifetime of togetherness One time we were judged by the color of our skins Now we are judged by the color of our flags Let us unite against being divided You belong to the one political party I belong to the one musical party Let us take control of the situation Otherwise we'll be trapped in this These guns and the roses That we've got to live with

Well I spent my last quarter on a payphone call from Tennessee And I was calling back home hoping to hear you've been missing me And to tell you I've been kicked to the curb for my original sound And I'll be heading back home just as soon as I burn this one down But the dial ran blank and I didn't get to say All the things I needed you to hear So I'm calling to the heavens hoping you don't wanna leave me All alone standing here But darlin' hear me out I've been working so hard Tryna keep us together And not tear us apart And I know it ain't easy But neither is it for me I only had enough for roses and a pack of Eagle 20s Well I caught the greyhound out of Nashville back to N.E. OK Just me, my guitar, and nothing to show for the stay As we broke the state line I stared at your picture in my billfold Anxious and ready to have you in my arms to hold As we pull down the driveway I rehearsed my apology That I would soon tell to you Bust through the front door to you at the table Looked you in the eyes and plead But darlin' hear me out I've been working so hard Tryna keep us together And not tear us apart And I know it ain't easy But neither is it for me I only had enough for roses and a pack of Eagle 20s As I handed you your roses, I lit up my last 20
