Chorus:

Love is a rose but you better not pick it.

It only grows when it’s on the vine.

Handful of thorns and you’ll know you’ve missed it.

Lose your love when you say the word “mine.”

Verse 1:

I wanna see what’s never been seen, I wanna live that age old dream.

Come on, boy, let’s get together. Let’s take the best right now.

Chorus:

Love is a rose but you better not pick it.

It only grows when it’s on the vine.

Handful of thorns and you’ll know you’ve missed it.

Lose your love when you say the word “mine.”

Verse 2:

I wanna go to an old hoedown long ago in a western town.

Pick me up when my feet are draggin’.

Give me a lift and I’ll hay your wagon.

Chorus:

Love is a rose but you better not pick it.

It only grows when it’s on the vine.

Handful of thorns and you’ll know you’ve missed it.

Lose your love when you say the word “mine.”

Verse 3: Guitar solo ad lib.…

Chorus:

Love is a rose but you better not pick it.

It only grows when it’s on the vine.

Handful of thorns and you’ll know you’ve missed it.

Lose your love when you say the word “mine.”
