Rosie Ann left in the summer of '83. She knew two chords and nothing about the industry. She had a fire in her heart, she had a blank page to start. She gave the river his mommas wedding ring. All the new towns looked the same as before. All the good ol' boys knew Rosie needed more. She had a studder when she'd sing, she had a new dress for everything that she'd steal from lives along the way. I'd be a fool not to say that I love you and the songs that you sing. If my mind should dine with princes and kings, you're the thief of my heart, and you always had the key. The crowd on a Sunday night is leaning toward the time. Rosie sits and thinks "Has this become my life? To dwell in lonliness? To make due with the rest?", so she cries...and throws her fists into the air. The smell of cigarettes and old beer on the floor makes the staleness of the winter linger more. So she rolls up her sleeves and waits till they all leave, and then smiles, as Rosie plays one more.
