Rosewood Bitters Lyrics - Joe Walsh

Too long on the road, my friend 

Too long between rides 

Too long between homes again 

Too long without someone by my side 

And Lord, there's something 'bout a sad song 

That helps to ease the pain 

Here I am, Lord, just singing up a storm 

And I'm all alone again 

Too much going down today 

Just can't take it in 

Too much running 'round today 

Can't tell you where I've been 

Seems that just like singing in the only thing to do 

Only thing to help me pass the time 

Songs are just like ladies--can't forget them when you're through 

And they're always on your mind 

And the rosewood bitters 

Help me meet the sunshine in the morning 

And the rosewood bitters 

Help me through the night 

When I feel blue 

Too few stop to pass the time 

Guess that's how it goes 

So sure that there's much more than this 

When really no one knows 

And easing into midnight 

As the bitters pass around 

Crying in my beer 

Singing someone else's troubles 

Help to ease your own 

Goodnight, Irene, my dear 

And the rosewood bitters 

Help me meet the sunshine in the morning 

And the rosewood bitters 

Help me through the night 

When I feel blue
