I was sitting’ on the front porch rail Watchin daylight fade to gold You were drivin down that gravel road Leavin more than I could hold Guess the words we left unspoken Cut deeper than we ever knew You said love ain’t always easy…. Darlin ain’t that the truth ‘Cause I hear your voice in the silence Every night when the wind blows through And this old heart keeps remindin me What I lost when I lost you ‘Cause every rose has its thorn Every sunrise turns to night Every cowboys heart gets broken When he don’t hold his woman tight Yeah, the sweetest love grows reckless When two hearts drift apart and roam… But every rose has its thorn, And I’m feelin mine tonight. There’s a picture on the dashboard still, Of a girl I used to know Her smile was like a summer field Wild and free and glowin gold But time can change a good thing Turn warm to cold without a sign Now I’m chasin all the memories Like whiskey chasin down the night And I swear I hear you whisper In the hum of the road Maybe love was meant to fade Like a song on an AM radio ‘Cause every rose has its thorn Every sunrise turns to night Every cowboys heart gets broken When he don’t hold his woman tight Yeah, the sweetest love grows reckless When two hearts drift apart and roam…. But every rose has its thorn, And I’m feelin mine tonight If I could turn back time, girl , I would right every wrong Hold you close instead of watchin You slip into the dawn But life’s a field of roses … You bleed to watch ‘em grow… Guess the hurt is just the cost Of the Lovin that we know ‘Cause every rose has its thorn, And every good thing’s bound to fade Every lonely night reminds me Of the bed where you once lay Yeah, the sweetest love can cut you When it leaves you on your own…. And every rose has its thorn But darlin , yours still feels like home.
