8 Roses Lyrics - Singles - Honeybrowne

8 Roses 

(Addison/ Singh) 

Night's falling on the off ramp 

Trucks roll by above me on the road 

And the sun is melting into the buildings 

Everybody's rushing to get on home 

Seems like I've been standing here for hours 

Hours longer than the good Lord should allow 

With a plastic bucket and some flowers 

Caughtup in your headlights now 

8 roses 

8 roses 

Red roses wrapped in cellophane 

I hate roses 

I hate roses 

But 8 roses 

Still remain 

I guess you're home by now from the hotel laundry 

I hope you didn't have to wait to catch a ride 

Did you bring the kids a little something from the kitchen 

And it's finally cooling off outside 

8 roses 

8 roses 

Red roses wrapped in cellophane 

I hate roses 

I hate roses 

But 8 roses 

Still remain 

Now why in the hell did we ever come here to the city 

I guess it's not like we left anything behind 

Since they took the farm it hasn't been that easy 

I guess we didn't have a choice this time 

But I wish I could be there, lying by your side 

But I'll be standing here till somebody buys 

8 roses 

8 roses 

Red roses wrapped in cellophane 

I hate roses 

I hate roses 

But 8 roses 

Still remain
