Lyrics Young Tom Rose - RIPÉ

Young Tom Rose

Waking up in South Bend
Stretched a little too thin to stand
I think I overshot it
Still I’m having trouble remembering your plan
I thought you were an angel
Said «I was finished when you came to me» (oh oh oh)
You tell me call you Donna
Keep saying «Boy, I’d love to take you with me» (oh oh oh)
She says «I know there’s no good time to say this…
So I won’t tell you my story
Heaven knows I’m not here to preach
I’m just tryin' to take care of family
The only lesson I would try to teach
That’s my boy upstairs there detoxing
Goes by the name of Young Tom Rose
Good kid, bad habits, you know how it goes"
She says «I know there’s no good time to say this
But please take care of my son»
My man
Take a second for young Tom Rose
He picked a hard long way to go
He needs a guiding hand
So love him as hard as you can
Oh Say a prayer for young Tom Rose
He picked a long long lonely road
He needs help from his friends
So love him as hard as you can
I try to pull myself together
Give me a second let me please explain
I’m not a junkie just a playboy
I never learned to understand that pain
But I’ll do my best to assist Lord
Oh Angel Donna won’t you show the way
Good kid bad habits I will do my best to save
She says I may not have learned how to do this
But please take care of my son
My man
Take a second for young Tom Rose
He picked a hard long way to go
He needs a guiding hand
So love him as hard as you can
Oh Say a prayer for young Tom Rose
He picked a long long lonely road
He needs help from his friends
So love him as hard as you can
Find me in Salt Lake City (find me)
Won’t somebody somebody find me
Sanctuary
I will see you there
Salt Lake City (find me)
Won’t somebody somebody find me
Sanctuary
I will see you there
To every mother’s son
Midway through your marathon run
Somebody’s out there
Saying take care of my son
By the name of the Young Tom Rose
He picked a hard hard way to go
He needs a guiding hand
So love him as hard as you can
Oh say a prayer for young Tom Rose
He picked a long hard lonely road
He needs help from his friends
So love him as hard as you can
Somebody find me
Somebody find me
Somebody find me
Love me as hard as you can
Oo!
Somebody find me
Oo!
Somebody find me
Somebody find me
Love me, as hard…
