[Verse 1]
Hey, Rose
Who put thorns around your heart so nobody else would ever get too close?
Hey, Rose
Did somebody start a fire just to put it out and leave you in the smoke?
Did the one who came before me come along and steal the glory from your soul?
Hey, Rose

[Chorus]
You're the kind of growin' wild that don't come by the dozen
There's a million colors in your eyes and pretty's just one of 'em
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

[Verse 2]
Damn, Rose
I wish it'd been me that caught you when you fell for what you thought might be forever
Sweet Rose
It's too late to stop the rain, but maybe there's a chance for me to be some shelter

[Chorus]
'Cause you're the kind of growin' wild that don't come by the dozen
There's a million colors in your eyes and pretty's just one of 'em
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

[Bridge]
Just because they're wasted tears don't mean they fell for nothin'
Hey, Rose, don't you know?

[Chorus]
You're the kind of growin' wild I wouldn't change for nothin'
There's a million colors in your eyes and pretty's just one of 'em
I would be your blue skies and your sunshine
Girl, I'd never let you go if you were mine to hold, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Rose

[Outro]
Hey, Rose
Hey, Rose
Hey, Rose
