Ashley Monroe - Like A Rose
 

Ashley Monroe - Like A Rose

I was only 13 when Daddy died
Momma started drinking and my brother just quit trying
I'm still bouncing back
Heaven only knows
How I came out like a rose

Ran off with what's his name
When I turned 18 it got me out of North Dakota
But it did not change a thing
I left it in the yard
All covered up with snow
And I came out like a rose

Sittin' in this diner with a coffee in my hand
Waiting on a bus to some promised land
I got a one-way ticket
As far as it goes
And I came out like a rose

So I'm headed south to anywhere
That ain't so damn cold
Where I can warm my heart
And shake the chill from my bones
It took a while to get here
It's been a long hard road
And I came out like a rose

Sittin' in this diner with a coffee in my hand
Waiting on a bus to some promised land
I got a one-way ticket
As far as it goes
And I came out like a rose

It took a while to get here
It's been a long hard road
And I came out like a rose
