Mallary Hope - Blossom In The Dust lyrics

rate me

<br>

There's a single-wide trailer past the railroad tracks<br>

Old car in the front, weeds in the back<br>

Mama had there when she was sixteen years old<br>

Took one look at her and named her Rose<br>

<br>

Fragile little Rose had to grow up fast<br>

Between the habit and the job that her mama had<br>

I've never seen a situation half that bad<br>

<br>

CHORUS:<br>

She's a blossom in the dust<br>

all her colors covered up<br>

Give a rose a little rain<br>

Lots of sun and all your love<br>

And watch her blossom in the dust<br>

<br>

We rescued that child in the nick of time<br>

Found a real nice couple 'cross the county line<br>

who'd been trying to have a little girl of their own<br>

and would give anything to give little Rose a home<br>

<br>

That mama-to-be took one look at her<br>

in her tattered flowered dress and her tangled curls<br>

She said that's not just any girl<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>

Oh, sometimes the only way to overcome a circumstance<br>

is someone giving someone else a fighting chance<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>
