English Rose lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
So I'll make my way through long winding country roads
But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose


[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I spend my days, just traveling and playing shows
But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose

[Verse 3]
I met a man in the 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"
[Chorus]
And I found truth in people I barely know
But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose

[Outro]
Oh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
Oh, my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
