Dusty Yellow Rose Lyrics

I'm so tired of wearin' suit-and-tie

Show me where the blue collar lies

And I've been left with a whisper of my crimes

Holdin' on the line thinkin' they might

Pick up a second time

Bite my tongue from sayin' far too much

Times are hard and the goin's tough

Keep the devils hid under the bed

Lie awake in dread not listenin'

To what the wise man said

Hold my horses, hold

Hold my horses, hold

Hold

Amarillo, dusty yellow rose

I have half a mind to let you go

But there ain't no bridge around to catch my flame

Just an open plain; there's nowhere left

To cower 'neath the shame

Hold my horses, hold

Hold my horses, hold

Hold

I watch my hands do the things I hate

An honest man could not appreciate

So hold my horse from galloping away

Leavin' me in vain to perish

In the valley of the dead
