English Rose
Across the seaBy the Tennessee skylineThey told me I'd find myHopes and my dreams
But I long to beIn the bed of my true loveBack where I came fromShe's waiting for me
So I'll make my wayThrough long winding country roadsBut my heart still beatsFor my home and my English rose
I told my dadOn the phone it's amazingFrom the straight to the craziest places I've seenBut I long to beIn the arms of my true loveLike he loves my motherHe understands me
I'll spend my daysJust travelling and playing showsBut my heart still beatsFor my home and my English rose
I met a manIn a bar down in MemphisHe told me he went there to follow his dreams
He told me, "Son,You know, I lost my true loveFor the same exact reasonThat you crossed the sea."
And I found truthIn people I barely knowBut my heart still beats for my home and my English roseOh, my heart still beats for my home and my English roseOh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
