Lyrics
She's seriously single, not a little bit shy. Walk in the room always catch your eye
Got dangerous curves & a dangerous smile. She'll share her heart only for a little while
Came from Oklahoma on a gray dog bus. Head filled with dreams of California or bust
Wanting it all or maybe wanting too much. She'll share her heart for one lost touch
Came from the land of blood & Dust
Going to the land of greed & lust
Just looking for someone to trust
She always thought she could do no wrong. Thought her life would end up like a song
She'd sing with someone & they'd sing along. She'll share her heart with someone warm & strong
Came from Oklahoma like her grand dad before. Couldn't heed his warnings as she walked out the door
I guess the land of plenty's more than she bargained for. She won't share her heart with anyone anymore
(Rose of Sharon) Came from the land of blood & Dust
(Rose of Sharon) Going to the land of greed & lust
(Rose of Sharon) Just looking for someone to trust (Rose of Sharon)
Don't be scared that's advice she'd always heard. You know it'd a lot to kill a spirit like hers
Sometimes when you're all alone desperation it grows & grows. Rose of Sharon you better come back home
Rose of Sharon 4x
(Rose of Sharon) Sharon you better come back home
(Rose of Sharon) you don't have to be alone (Rose of Sharon)
(Rose of Sharon) Came from the land of milk & honey
(Rose of Sharon) Run out of time, run out of money
