White Rose Songtext
von Cole Goodwin

Born among the morning sun
One August morning on the run
Nine months after all the fun that got them in this place
A farmer′s boy and a preacher's girl
Starting over in this world
Carrying that baby girl they wrapped in cloth and lace

Oh oh sweet white rose
If you′ll bloom nobody knows
But one day you might grow old and look back on the days
When mom and daddy were so free
A beat up car with no money
Learn from what they did in thee and blossom sweet white rose

Eighteen years and two young deaths
White rose laid them both to rest
A rugged life of pills and meth sent them to their graves
A new adult all alone
All of her family gone
The whole town they bet on no hope for being saved


Oh oh sweet white rose
If you'll bloom nobody knows
But one day you might grow old and look back on the days
When mom and daddy were so free
A beat up car with no money
Learn from what they did in thee and blossom sweet white rose

A few more desperate years gone by
He looks at white rose with wild eyes
A lot of lust and too much pride to wear what hides their sin
The dawn cracks and the deed is done
What's over now has just begun
Flashback to that August sun it′s happening again

Oh oh sweet white rose
If you′ll bloom nobody knows
But one day you might grow old and look back on the days
When mom and daddy were so free
A beat up car with no money
Learn from what they did in thee and blossom sweet white rose

There she is all by herself
Daddy's died and gone to hell
A baby girl begins to wail in room nineteen-ten
White rose died and left a seed
But mother′s tale it failed to heed
She grew up and did the deed that wrote the story again


Oh oh sweet white rose
If you'll bloom nobody knows
But one day you might grow old and look back on the days
When mom and daddy were so free
A beat up car with no money
Learn from what they did in thee and blossom sweet white rose
