Little Feat - Bed Of Roses lyrics

She had a drive-by childhood A plastic jesus on her chest A mean mean girl With a certain snake allure A heart like 16 midnights And a surgical voice Keepin' strange for some change Empty eyes with a haunted look Leanin' hard, she lost her place Try as she might She couldn't take my advice It's a desperate conclusion People with a grudge And a mind you can not budge Ain't no bed of roses Tryin' to turn your life around Ain't no bed of roses Time won't move no mountain Just the faith in the leap, my friend A cliff dwellin' creeper And a runaway On the ol' cat slide of town See how you run, oh see how you pay Another honest mistake If dreams are all you need Then alone is where you'll be I'm the leader of the middle And i see that streak in you Was it somethin' you were born with Or did it just seep on through? It's a nightmare on a budget Just enough to keep you off track Always somethin' for nothin' On the road, to hell and back Ain't no bed of roses Tryin' to turn your life around Ain't no bed of roses (time) won't move no mountain Just the faith in the leap, my friend I'm the leader of the middle And i see that streak in you Was it somethin' you were born with Or did it just seep on through? It's a nightmare on a budget Just enough to keep you off track Always somethin' for nothin' On the road, to hell and back Ain't no bed of roses Tryin' to turn your life around Ain't no bed of roses (time) won't move no mountain Just the faith in the leap, my friend Ain't no bed of roses Tryin' to turn your life around Ain't no bed of roses (time) won't move no mountain Just the faith in the leap, my friend
