We've come a long way
on this East Texas highway
And I'm feelin' awfully
old at forty -three
Sure am glad that Rosie's here with me
I guess I showed them
what I could do
when I wrote everything in Houston
Boy, was Rosa proud of me
Just a broken down old roadie, old rider
I tryin' to make just one more show
Shoulda hung it up a long time ago
I've been kicked and I've been down
and busted to my knees
Just keepin' Rosie proud of me
You see, Rose is young and pretty,
she likes to have her fun
If she don't have her with me,
she's gonna have her with someone
I gotta finish in the money,
so we can go on to Cheyenne
An d I can go on being Rosie's
man
You see, Rosie's young and pretty
She likes to have her fun
If she don't have her with me
She's gonna have her with someone
I've got to finish in the money lost
so we can go on to shine
An d I can go on being Rose's man
I can go on being Rose's man
You
