Grew up in the valley Rode horses at dawn Came home every morning To the TV on Big blue eyes Long straight hair Some dark secret Held like a key
Dusty Roses Strung up on the wall Dusty Roses Where has our girl gone?
Black pants and a crisp white shirt Table for two Party of ten, it's one AM She gets off work Goes downtown Whiskey drowned Find some stranger To hold like a key
Dusty Roses Strung up on the wall Dusty Roses Where has our girl gone?
She moved back home A child in tow Just three years old Night after broken night She stumbled down that gravel road Black bird flies Ocean eyes Ravaged body Buried like a key
Dusty Roses Strung out on the wall Dusty Roses Where has our girl gone?
