English Rose

Across the sea, by the Tennessee skyline

They told me I'd find my hopes and my dreams

But I long to be in the bed of my true love

Back where I came from, she's waiting for me

So I'll make my way

Through long winding country roads

But my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose

I told my dad on the phone it's amazing

From the straight to the crazy, these places I've seen

But I long to be in the arms of my true love

Like he loves my mother, he understands me

I'll spend my days

Just travelin' and playing shows

But my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose

[Instrumental Bridge][Verse 3]

I met a man in a bar down in Memphis

He told me he went there to follow his dreams

And he told me, "Son, you know I lost my true love

For the same exact reason that you crossed the sea"

And I found truth

In people I barely know

But my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose

Oh, my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose

Oh, my heart still beats

For my home and my English rose
