Roses and diesel don't mix. 

You can't just come and go 

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone



I know Venus came from Mars 

And Venus sure could play guitar 

Born in the way of desires In my eyes, Venus was a star



Working hard, time was very 

Few and far between, we'd marry 

I wait up for you at night 

Though I won't see you 'til January



Roses and diesel don't mix. 

You can't just come and go 

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone



When will I see you again? 

On the road next week, I dread 

That you'll be on a bus to nowhere 

Singing about the days that might have been



Put down that guitar, I'm talking to you 

I can't seem to quite get through 

Trying to talk about our future, 

A house, some kids, and how much I miss you



Roses and diesel don't mix. 

You can't just come and go 

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone



Oh no, I won't let go 

In time you will know 

What it means to be... 

All in good time



Roses and diesel don't mix. 

You can't just come and go 

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone



Roses and diesel don't mix. 

You can't just come and go 

I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone
