You would not believe that I've been to war with many love [C] affairs
[G]
[D] You would not believe all the want-tos and I [G] just don't care
To live alone in pain sometimes I'll sit down [C] and cry
I guess [D] I'll run back home to Louisiana and try to [G] hide
The first thing daddy said was roses don't grow here [C] anymore
The [D] road has been paved up to mama's very own [G] front door
I can't believe the old man done shut down [C] the store
[D] Daddy said roses don't grow here [G] anymore
My life is a good life, my life is nothing that's new
A [D]
light in the window of a girlfriend I thought once [G] was true
School I've attended, oh where in the world [C] did it go wrong?
[D]
Daddy said roses don't grow here [G]
anymore
You know me and Chad MacLean, Tommy MacLean and Warren Storm
We were sitting at a table one night at Tommy's house
[C] We got to talking and I decided, I said, Tommy how'd you write that song, Roses?
Oh, and he started [D] telling me, it's a wild story but this is how it goes
He said, well, I'd go [G] on the road, do my shows, spend money on booze, women
And all the rest of them good things
He said, I come back home, everything was changed and I'm paving the road [C] up to mama's front door
I started asking daddy if I could borrow [C] some money because I was broke from being on the road and [D] spending my money
And he looks at me, he says, Tommy, I'm sorry son, daddy has gave [G] you all the money we're going to give to you
And it goes like this, roses don't grow here anymore
My life is a good life, my life is nothing [C]
that's new

A school I've attended, oh where in the [C] world did it go wrong?
