Black Rose of Texas |
| The pills you kept beside your bed |
| Were never enough to ease your mind |
| And the men who came then always left |
| Not all of them treated you real kind |
| You tried booze and God and cigarettes |
| But nothing could keep you from crying |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| I hope you found some peace this time |
| In the honky tonks and punk rock bars |
| Sometimes it felt so good to be alive |
| Doing the two-step across the hardwood floor |
| While telling some wild boy white lies |
| But the music always had to stop |
| And you had to face the world on your own |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| I hope you found your way home |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| No one can say you didn’t try |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| I wish I could have said goodbye |
| On a train in Arizona |
| As the morning sun was burning in the east |
| A long distance phone call |
| Woke me up from my sleep |
| Then I watched the desert passing by |
| Replaying sweet and sad memories |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| Hope this time time you’re finally free |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| No one can say you didn’t try |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| I wish I could have said goodbye |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| I hope you found some peace this time |
| Black Rose of Texas |
| I just wish I could have said goodbye |
