Wild Rebel Rose

(álbum: Shine - 2009)

Wild Rebel Rose
The kids used to tease you
Wild Rebel Rose
Every time they'd see you in those black turtle necks in mid-July
Wearing too much makeup 'round your eyes

Wild Rebel Rose
I didn't know you
Wild Rebel Rose
So I never told you how I'd watch from the house across the street
When those blue lights came around at least three times a week
It's hard for anyone to understand why at sixteen you just up and ran
But they didn't know you only knew your daddy's love like the back of his hand

I heard the shots
I saw you hit the door
I snuck in and grabbed that pistol off the floor
Don't you worry they won't find it that's for sure

Wild Rebel Rose
The kids used to tease you
Wild Rebel Rose
Every time they'd see you in those black turtle necks in mid-July
Wearing too much makeup 'round your eyes

Mmm, oh, Wild, Wild, Wild Rebel Rose
They didn't know
Oooh, yeah, mmm
