We were in Louisiana I remember it well 'Cause my uncle was gambling In a Shreveport hotel Later that evening We were Fort Worth bound I saw the pretty red flowers As we passed through a town Well, we pulled on over To get some fresh night air And the sweet smell of roses Lingered everywhere There, in the moonlight On the brick-lined street Stood a pretty young woman She gave a flower to me There's a city of roses Way back in the pines I don't know if you know it But it ain't hard to find If you're coming from Dallas SongtexteYou just keep rolling east Till the city of roses Is all that you see Maybe you've seen it Any place that you go On a downtown corner Somebody's selling a rose Well, I bet you a dollar I know where it's from A little town in East Texas You'd better get you one There's a city of roses Way back in the pines I don't know if you know it But it ain't hard to find If you're coming from Dallas You just keep rolling east Until the city of roses Is all that you see Aus Songtexte Mania
