Hey Rose - Houndmouth

Hey there all you wild pretty women where’d you go

When the winds would blow hard and the dust would settle low

Storm is coming in so I guess you better get up and go

Back to the lonely deserts westward out of Hillsdale, Arizona

Where the girls will treat you friendly sure but only if you want

Steal a little ride from the riverboat captain tonight

Hey (hey, hey) there Rose

Did you think I’d come all this way in vain

The weather’s getting hotter but I start to see the light

And I think I might pull over just to stop here for the night

I see her coming up and I know she won’t give me a fight

And so I start to make my move and splash my face up with some water

And she tries to blow me off but then it only makes me hotter

Hey there Rose, can you spare some change for the night

Hey (hey, hey) there Rose

Did you think I’d come all this way in vain

And drive (drive) down to the center of a coal mine town

Wash your face and change your frame of mind

And hard (hard) times, you better stow away your nickels and your dimes

And throw a rope around a big old tree

I see her in the rear view as I start to drive away

While she wipes away the teardrops I thought I heard her say

«I think I’ll be shooting you down if you won’t be mine»

So I said darling don’t you worry I’ll be back your way again

When the sun comes 'round the mountains and the moon comes 'round the bend

Just give it a while and everything’s gonna be alright

Hey (hey, hey) there Rose

Did you think I’d come all this way in vain

And drive (drive) down to the center of a coal mine town

Wash your face and change your frame of mind

And hard (hard) times, you better stow away your nickels and your dimes

And throw a rope around a big old tree

And hey (hey, hey) there Rose

Did you think I’d come all this way in vain

And drive (drive) down to the center of a coal mine town

Wash your face and change your frame of mind

And hard (hard) times, you better stow away your nickels and your dimes

And throw a rope around a big old tree
