Monroe Suede Lyrics - Like A Rose - Ashley Monroe

Momma played piano in a Pentecostal church 

Starin' them snakes in the eye 

Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch 

Hell I did what I did to get by 

I did what I did to get by 

A third grade education won't bring you no luck 

When you're looking for a way to get paid 

Turned 14 and stole a pickup truck 

Couldn't make it on minimum wage 

Couldn't make it on minimum wage 

Well I almost got caught in Tulsa town 

Had me one foot in the grave 

Ah they're gonna die trying to track me down 

But they'll never catch Monroe Suede 

No they'll never catch Monroe Suede

Well you can't stay long when you're living on the run 

And the high sheriff's lookin' for you 

Never shot nobody with a loaded gun 

But I found me a lover or two 

Well I almost got caught in Tulsa town 

Had me one foot in the grave 

Ah they're gonna die trying to track me down 

But they'll never catch Monroe Suede 

No they'll never catch Monroe Suede 

Momma still plays piano in the same ol' church 

Helpin' them sinners get saved 

Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch 

And they call me Monroe Suede
