California Rose - Laura Cantrell[00:00:00]
Your mama wasn't one to[00:00:08]
Mess around with[00:00:09]
Had a fleet of cars[00:00:12]
And all those flashy clothes[00:00:13]
Taught you the discipline of[00:00:17]
Doing what she told[00:00:19]
Kept her fist around[00:00:21]
The money tightly closed[00:00:22]
She had all you kids to think of[00:00:26]
One more precious than[00:00:30]
The rest big brothers running wild[00:00:32]
You learned to kick your heels in style[00:00:37]
Did you have it worst or have it best[00:00:40]
When you grew like a California Rose[00:00:44]
The color of your clothes[00:00:48]
Blooming even when[00:00:49]
The earth was cracked and dry[00:00:51]
You sang easy and so sweet [00:00:53]
Dust under your feet[00:00:57]
Opened your heart as natural as can be[00:00:59]
Mama never suffered any in-laws[00:01:03]
Ran them all away eventually[00:01:08]
Had a plan to keep you near[00:01:13]
And a soldier boy who took her deal[00:01:16]
To city hall you went teenage bride to be[00:01:18]
Next came along the baby carriage[00:01:23]
Blessed event came unforeseen[00:01:27]
No child in mamas eyes [00:01:31]
Circumstance easy to hide[00:01:34]
Where did you put your loyalty[00:01:36]
When you cry like a California Rose [00:01:40]
Scarlet Crimson Robes[00:01:44]
Fading even as you reached to the sky[00:01:45]
You sang heavy and so sweet [00:01:49]
Your heart it barely beat[00:01:53]
From the hurting it would[00:01:55]
Carry from now on[00:01:57]
No one would ever say[00:02:00]
You'd hesitate to take the blame[00:02:02]
I'm still wondering today[00:02:08]
Where is your name in that hall of fame [00:02:12]
When you grew like a California Rose[00:02:17]
The color of your clothes[00:02:21]
Blooming even when[00:02:23]
The earth was cracked and dry[00:02:24]
You sang easy and so sweet [00:02:27]
Dust under your feet[00:02:30]
Opened your heart[00:02:32]
As natural as can be[00:02:33]
