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
