Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let's raise our drinks to Delilah Rose Secondhand soul, chief mistress to rock and roll Her mama's first love was a king from Tupelo Rockabilly sets, chops, and pompadours collected in her photos [Chorus] With no regret, a life of excess Rock and roll ain't dead yet Resurrected like the rose of Jericho [Verse 2] Let's raise 'em up for Blackie Pepperbush She liked to sing along with the queen of Nutbush She liked to lead the toast, the first to hit the floor Always slip into the club through the backdoor Vagabond soul from Tokyo, yeah, to Chicago [Chorus] With no regret, a life of excess Rock and roll ain't dead yet Resurrected like the rose of Jericho [Verse 3] Seasons come and seasons go Delilah and Blackie are bound by the tattoo of a rose She kissed her friends, the tropical winds The sunset's puttin' on a show And Northern Lights, Hawaiian skies Where did the time go? [Chorus] With no regret, a life of excess Rock and roll ain't dead yet Resurrected like the rose of Jericho Like the rose of Jericho, yeah Like the rose of Jericho
