Rose - Patti Scialfa[00:00:01]
Rose was a waitress for twenty years or more[00:00:41]
Bringing in the change she was heaven sent[00:00:45]
She taught me how to balance trays when I didn't know what to do[00:00:50]
And I learned to turn tables to make my rent[00:00:55]
She said keep your eye on the work clock [00:00:59]
Keep a dollar in the jukebox[00:01:02]
And there's a bottle of whiskey behind the coffee machine[00:01:06]
Don't talk to the boss [00:01:10]
He's just trouble you don't want to cross[00:01:12]
He's the walking definition of what it is to be mean[00:01:15]
Well I'm going out tonight on the streets of the city[00:01:19]
Going to spend my money tonight[00:01:25]
I'm going out on the streets of the city[00:01:30]
Rose you're pushing fifty but you sure look all right[00:01:34]
Well there's this guy who speaks no English [00:01:59]
And he does the dishes by hand[00:02:02]
You know his pace it never slacks[00:02:05]
I said "Rose he must be one of God's good children"[00:02:08]
She just laughs and says "Yeah [00:02:12]
God's got him doing the dishes all night in the back"[00:02:14]
But he keeps smiling and those plates keep piling up so high[00:02:18]
Seems he can't make a dent[00:02:25]
Me I'm just bitchin' by the service station[00:02:28]
So tired of waiting on all these jokers for a lousy ten percent[00:02:33]
Well I'm going out on the streets of the city[00:02:38]
Going to spend my money tonight[00:02:43]
I'm going out on the streets of the city[00:02:48]
Rose you're pushing fifty but you sure look all right[00:02:53]
Now listen[00:03:26]
I traveled once with this rock and roll band[00:03:27]
And my baby was a hero at every small town bar[00:03:32]
And I watched that summer of '88[00:03:37]
Pass through the rearview mirror of his rented car[00:03:41]
But don't you learn hard and fast that the good times [00:03:46]
They ain't meant to last and that sweet love [00:03:50]
Ain't it the first to disappear[00:03:54]
Rose sometimes I get so frightened [00:03:57]
I don't want to spend the my life[00:04:01]
Working on the graveyard shift here[00:04:03]
Well I'm going out on the streets of the city[00:04:06]
Going to spend my money tonight[00:04:10]
I'm going out on the streets of the city[00:04:16]
Rose you're pushing fifty but you sure look all right[00:04:21]
