LISA LOEB - Rose-colored Times lyrics

rate me

Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed.<br>Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide.<br>Shabby tried to comb her hair with the gift from her grandma, her blood.<br>Tangled she got halfway.<br>Sticky and powdered with dirt from the ground where her mamma had left her,<br>Had left her, had left her.<br>Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed.<br>Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide,<br>With your eyes open wide.<br>Rusty the screen door, she opened it.<br>Raised from the ground.<br>Mamma left me her ring, mamma left me no family,<br>Just barstools, and boyfriends, and whiskey at nighttime, and bedtime,<br>Bedtime, bedtime, bedtime.<br>I'll go with the man who looks like my father,<br>The neighbors all tell me to go with him.<br>He better take caution, he better take care of me,<br>'cause if he don't he, better beware of me.<br>Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes closed.<br>Those were rose-colored times on rides with your eyes open wide,<br>With your eyes open wide,<br>With your eyes open wide,<br>Wide, wide, wide,<br>Eyes open wide.
