Rose was having a problem
She held the answer in her hand
But on this auspicious occasion
She didn't really understand
I went to meet her at the station
Her famous hat was pulled down low
A crowd of people stood there laughing at her
Rose walked in, shut 'em up before
Keep taking those back roads
That's all I ever heard her say
Don't take no for an answer
As she slowly slipped away
Keep taking those back roads
That's all I ever heard her say
Don't take no for an answer
Whoa, that's all she would say
Back roads, back roads
Losers again
Now Rose is dead and gone forever
She never really stood a chance
I watched her life go spilling out before me
Just like wine (Just like wine) spilling on the sand
Every time I reach a crossroad in my life
And I don't know which way to go
Voices stirring deep inside of me
Yeah, it's the voice of old Black Rose
She'd say
Keep taking those back roads
That's all I ever heard her say
Don't take no for an answer
As she slowly slipped away
Keep taking those back roads
That's all I ever heard her say
Don't take no for an answer
Yeah, Black Rose slips away
Back roads (Black Rose), black roads (Black Rose)
Whoa, you got to lose again
Black roads (Black Rose), black roads (Black Rose)
Black roads (Black Rose), black roads (Black Rose)
Black roads (Black Rose), black roads (Black Rose)
