English Rose lyrics

Across the sea

By the Tennessee skyline

They told me I'd find my

Hopes and my dreams

But I long to be

In the bed of my true love

Back where I came from

She's waiting for me

So I'll make my way

Through long winding country roads

But my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose

I told my dad

On the phone it's amazing

From the straight to the craziest places I've seen

But I long to be

In the arms of my true love

Like he loves my mother

He understands me

I'll spend my days

Just travelling and playing shows

But my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose

I met a man

In a bar down in Memphis

He told me he went there to follow his dreams

He told me, "Son,

You know, I lost my true love

For the same exact reason

That you crossed the sea."

And I found truth

In people I barely know

But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose

Oh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose

Oh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
