Roses and Thorns |
| I asked the old bandito |
| What should I do to get her back |
| She’s been taken by a bad man |
| His ways are wrong, his heart is black |
| Should I try to make a rescue |
| Or wait until he sets her free |
| The old bandito looked in the distance |
| Drank his tequila and said to me |
| There are no roses without thorns |
| Here in this desert where I was born |
| Between pain and duty all men are torn |
| There are no roses without thorns |
| Then I asked the old bandito |
| What if I win her back someday |
| What should I do to try to keep her |
| What should I do to make her stay |
| Boy, please heed my answer |
| For there can be but only one |
| When you win her from your rival |
| The struggle has just begun |
| There are no roses without thorns |
| Here in this desert where I was born |
| Between pain and duty all men are torn |
| There are no roses without thorns |
| I fought for her and won her |
| From my rival I set her free |
| But every night it haunts me |
| What the bandito said to me |
| Boy, if you fight for her and you win her |
| Just remember if you do |
| You must try your best to hold her |
| Without binding her to you |
| There are no roses without thorns |
| Here in this desert where I was born |
| Between pain and duty all men are torn |
| There are no roses without thorns |
| No, no, no |
| No, no, no |
| No, no, no, no |
| No, no, no |
| No, no, no |
| Roses without thorns |
| No, no, no |
| Roses without thorns |
