Il testo della White rose

Yea the whole town came out to watch
The day they paved the parking lot
Somebody hung a ribbon up and then they cut it out
And that big white rose up on that sign put innocence in all our lives
We could see it's neon light half a mile down
Gas was 50 cents a gallon and they put it in for you
They bumped your tires then checked your oil and wash your windows too
And we shined those cars bright as bright we go park underneath that light starring at the prairie skies there was nothing else to do

Now theres plywood for glass where the windows all got smashed
And there's just a chunk of concrete where those old pumps used to stand
Theres a couple of cars half out of the ground and that old sun still spins round and round
I guess the white rose fill in station is just a memory now

And the girls would spend a couple of bucks just to meet the boys working at the pumps
They grow up and fall in love then they've all moved away
Strangers used to stop and ask how far they've driven off the map
Then they built that overpass now they stay out on the highway

Cause theres plywood for glass where the windows all got smashed
And there's just a chunk of concrete where those old pumps used to stand
Theres a couple of cars half out of the ground and that old sun still spins round and round
I guess the white rose fill in station is just a memory now

And that neon sign was the heart and soul in this old one horse town,
Looks like it lost its will to live the day they shut it down

Now theres plywood for glass where the windows all got smashed
And there's just a chunk of concrete where those old pumps used to stand
Theres a couple of cars half out of the ground and that old sun still spins round and round
I guess the white rose fill in station is just a memory now

Yea that old white rose fill in station is just a memory now
