"Like A Rose" lyrics - ASHLEY MONROE

I was only thirteen when Daddy died
Mama started drinkin', and my brother just quit tryin'
I'm still bouncin' back, Heaven only knows
How I came out like a rose

Ran off with what's-his-name when I turned eighteen
He 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

Sittin' in this diner with a coffee in my hand
Waitin' on a bus to some promised 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 chill from my bones
It took a while to get here; it's been a long, hard road
And I came out like a rose

Sittin' in this diner with a coffee in my hand
Waitin' on a bus to some promised land
Well, 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
