My attempt at a country song.
Once I wanted to climb to the top of the heap
Wanted praise for the things I had done
But now all I want is a good night’s sleep
Save the roses for when I’m dead and gone
Save the roses for when I am gone
Don’t need praise for the things I have done
Just looking for a friend who’ll stand by me to the end
Save the roses for when I’m dead and gone
I piled up a fortune to see me to the end
Then all my plans came undone
Now nothing’s more precious than the love of a friend
Save the roses for when I’m dead and gone
I wanted people to look up to me
To think that I was the one
But fame has a price, while the good life is free
Save the roses for when I’m dead and gone
