White Rose

歌詞

Yeah the whole town came out to watch The day they paved the parking lot Somebody hung a ribbon up And then they cut it down That big white rose upon that sign Put innocence in all our lives We could see it's neon light Half a mile out Gas was 50 cents a gallon The put it in for you They bump up your tires and check your oil And wash your windows too And we'd shine those cars bright as bright We'd go park underneath that light Stare out at the prairie skies There was nothing else to do Now there's plywood for glass Where the windows all got smashed And there's just a chunk of concerete Where those old pumps used to stand There's a couple of cars Half out of the ground And that old sign still spins round and round I guess the White Rose fill-in station's just a memory now And the girls would spend a couple a bucks Just to meet the boys working at the pumps They grow up and fall in love And they've all moved away Strangers used to stop and ask How far they'd driven off the map And then they built that overpass And now they stay out on the highway 'Cause there's plywood for glass Where the windows all got smashed And there's just a chunk of concerete Where those old pumps used to stand There's a couple of cars Half out of the ground And that old sign still spins round and round I guess the White Rose fill-in station's just a memory now That neon sign was the heart and soul In this old one-horse town And it's like it lost its will to live The day they shut it down Now there's plywood for glass Where the windows all got smashed And there's just a chunk of concerete Where those old pumps used to stand There's a couple of cars Half out of the ground And that old sign still spins round and round I guess the White Rose fill-in station's just a memory now Yeah that old White Rose fill-in station's just a memory now
