Lyrics of Like a rose

I was onlu 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
