Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were in Louisiana
I remember it well
'Cause my uncle was gambling
In a Shreveport hotel
[Verse 2]
Later that evening
We were Fort Worth bound
I saw the pretty red flowers
As we passed through a town
[Verse 3]
Well, we pulled on over
To get some fresh night air
And the sweet smell of roses
Lingered everywhere
[Verse 4]
There, in the moonlight
On the brick-lined street
Stood a pretty young woman
She gave a flower to me
[Chorus]
There's a city of roses
Way back in the pines
I don't know if you know it
But it ain't hard to find
[Chorus]
If you're coming from Dallas
You just keep rolling east
Till the city of roses
Is all that you see
[Verse 5]
Maybe you've seen it
Any place that you go
On a downtown corner
Somebody's selling a rose
[Verse 6]
Well, I bet you a dollar
I know where it's from
A little town in East Texas
You'd better get you one
[Chorus]
There's a city of roses
Way back in the pines
I don't know if you know it
But it ain't hard to find
[Chorus]
If you're coming from Dallas
You just keep rolling east
Until the city of roses
Is all that you see
