Lyrics

I put the pedal to the metal, like a bullet through a barrel I was halfway outta this town The sun was sinking low, and as I watched it go where You called me, said: Baby, won't you turn around?" I said: Forgive me darlin', but the highway has been calling Gonna find another town and buy some new clothes I have to beg your pardon, but there's nothing in your garden But a black rose Yeah, a black rose Well, it was fine in the beginning, but there always is an ending And there's always a twist in the plot That web that you've been weaving is as strong as it's deceiving But I just ain't believing that'll get caught I'm sure you'll find another that don't mind being smothered By the kind of love a lover like you knows It can only harden when it grows inside your garden Like a black rose Yeah, a black rose
