Dusty Rose

by Christian Kane

on Oakmont (2018)

A little dirty
A little rough around the edges
Oh the way you rearrange
to find the beauty of.

It's like you took a hard look at my life
Said that's not the way we'll be
And no tellin' how many times
You cut your hands holdin' me.

And I thank you
Ya I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red

And I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
You still accept
This dusty rose

You're like staring at a light
You wash away the things I've seen
And you taught me how not to say
Oh I'm a victim of

And your constant contradictions
On what you see is what you get
You're so beautiful
How could it be you
have a heart like that

And I thank you
And I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red

And I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
You still accept
This dusty rose

You took a hell of a chance
To show me what I need
To change the way I that I believe.
But your friends all say
That there is better out there than me

Ya, it doesn't seem
That you would fall
For a whiskey drinking fiend
My name don't have a dime
Specially not a man done time

I thank God you're loving me
I thank the bottle I get through
The way that you always look at me
When I go anywhere with you

And I thank you
And I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red

And I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
But you still accept
This dusty rose
