Lyrics:

I Was Only 13 When Daddy Died
mama Started Drinking And My Brother Just Quit Trying
i'm Still Bouncing Back, Heaven Only Knows
how I Came Out Like A Rose.

ran Off With What's His Name When I Turned 18
got Me Out Of North Dakota, But It Did Not Change A Thing
i Left It In The Yard, All Covered Up With Snow
and I Came Out Like A Rose

sitting In This Diner With A Coffee In My Hand
waiting On A Bus To Some Promise Land
i Got A One Way Ticket As Far As It Goes
and I Came Out Like A Rose

so I'm Headed South To Anywhere That Ain't So Damn Cold
where I Can Warm My Heart And Shake The Chills From My Bones
it Took A While To Get Here, It's Been A Long Hard Road
and I Came Out Like A Rose

sitting In This Diner With A Coffee In My Hand
waiting On A Bus To Some Promise Land
i Got A One Way Ticket As Far As It Goes
and I Came Out Like A Rose

it Took A While To Get Here, It's Been A Long Hard Road
and I Came Out Like A Rose
