Wild roses grow on a bush full of thorns
Look but you never should touch
She was a beauty – a joy to behold
She never liked me that much
So much to offer – so little to give
Watchin’ her future go by
To many chances – no place to live
Lookin’ for pie in the sky – Lord!
Just lookin’ for pie in the sky
You think that money will bring you success
A good reputation – one more pretty new dress
You got me hooked – locked in your arms
Well it’s too late, too late, too late - to sound the alarm
I thought of leavin’ but now it’s too late
Held up & hog tied – such is my fate
I lost my place in a chorus of fools
Lost it while breakin’ the rules
Let her go, let her go, let her just walk away
She’s on her own and she just wants to play
I can’t stand losin’ – what more can I say
Goodbye we’ll call it a day – I said
Goodbye we’ll call it a day
Repeat Chorus
So much to offer – so little to give
Watchin’ her future go by
To many chances – no place to live
Lookin’ for pie in the sky
Let her go, let her go, let her just walk away
She’s on her own and she just wants to play
I can’t stand losin’ – what more can I say
Goodbye we’ll call it a day – I said
Goodbye we’ll call it a day
Repeat Chorus
