wild rebel rose

Martina Mcbride

Wild rebel rose,
Kids used to tease you.
Wild rebel rose,
Every time they'd see you
In those
Black turtlenecks in mid July,
Wearing too much makeup round your eyes.

Wild rebel rose,
I didn't know you.
Wild rebel rose,
So I never told you
How I'd watch from the house across the street,
When those blue lights came around
At least 3 times a week.

It's hard for anyone to understand
Why at 16
You just up and ran.
They didn't know
You only knew your daddy's love
Like the back of his hand

I heard the shots,
And saw you hit the door
I snuck in and grabbed that pistol off the floor
Don't you worry,
They won't find it, that's for sure.

Wild rebel rose
The kids used to tease you
Wild rebel rose
Every time they'd see you
In those black turtlenecks in mid-July
Wearing too much makeup 'round your eyes.

Mmmmm...ooh...wild rebel rose...they didn't know.
