Roses

I was drinking alone down at Daly's Saw an old friend that wished us both well He asked how you've been And if I'd seen you again Since you up and abandoned this town I told him that you and I don't talk Quite as frequently as we used to It's been a long time since you and I've got to catch up And I'm wondering what you've been up to For me everything's coming up roses I'm doing great in this town Things around here are exactly the same As they were when you were around I still drive by that old high school And drink at the same bars downtown Oh everything's coming up roses I'm doing great in this town Well I heard that you went and got married I hope your other half's treatin' you right And ya'll live on a farm outside Nashville I wish I had that kind of life But I won't be stuck here forever I'll break away just like you And I'll get to living a life of my own As soon as this old life is through Till then everything's coming up roses I'm doing great in this town People 'round here are exactly the same As they were when you were around They all still talk about high school And get drunk at the same bars downtown Oh yeah everything's coming up roses I'm doing great all around It's not that I'm missing you You've just been on my mind And life's not for drifting through We're on limited time I thought I'd reach out to you Just to say hello I'll get away some day But for now you should know That everything's coming up roses I'm doing great in this town Things around here are exactly the same As they were when you were around And I still drive by that old high school And get drunk at the same bars downtown Oh yeah everything's coming up roses I'm doing great in this town. Oh yeah everything's coming up roses I'm doing great in this town
