  • Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed
    Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide.

    Shabby tried to comb her hair with a gift from her grandma, her blood
    Tangled, she got halfway
    Sticky and powdered with dirt from the ground where her mamma had left her
    Had left her, left her

    Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed
    Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide

    Rusty the screen door, she opened it
    Raised from the ground
    Mamma left me her ring, mamma left me no family
    Just barstools and boyfriends and whiskey at nighttime, and bedtime
    Bedtime

    I'll go with a man who looks like my father,
    The neighbors all tell me to go with him
    He better take caution, he better take care of me,
    Cause if he don't, he better beware of me

    Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed
    Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
