1. EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORN

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did
Did the words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say

[Chorus:]
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yeah it does

I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here somehow
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess

[Chorus]

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
but the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways

But now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess

[Chorus]


2. BACK TO THE ROCKING HORSE

Like this

All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Ain't got a hope in hell
Of putting my pieces back together again

I've seen things in my life that should never be seen
I'm talking things that'd make your skin crawl
I want to go back to a simpler time
Where nothin' really mattered at all

You see, I can't sleep all night long
Tossin' and a-turnin'
Thoughts they keep a-churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact
I just want to get back

[Chorus:]
Back to the rockin' horse
Back to where it all began
Take me back-back to the rockin' horse
And start all over again

My parents think I'm crazy
And the doctor says I cracked
But they don't understand me
Cause I just wanna go back

You see I can't sleep all night long
Tossin' and a-turnin
Thoughts they keep a-churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact
I just want to get back

[Chorus]
