rosie

she was standing at the load-in

when the trucks rolled up

she was sniffing all around

like a half grown female pup

she wasn't hard to talk to

looked like she had nowhere to go

so i gave her my pass

so she could get in and see the show

well i sat her down right next to me

and i got her a beer

while i mixed that sound on stage

so the band could hear

the more i watched her watch them play

the less i could think of to say

and when they walked off stage

the drummer swept that girl away

but rosie you're all right - you wear my ring

when you hold me tight - rosie that's my thing

when you turn out the light - i've got to hand it to me

looks like it's me and you again tonight rosie

well i guess i might have known from the start

she'd come for a star

might have told my imagination not to run too far

of all the times that i've been burned

by now you'd think i'd have learned

that it's who you look like

not who you are

but rosie you're all right - you wear my ring

when you hold me tight - rosie that's my thing

when you turn out the light - i've got to hand it to me

looks like it's me and you again tonight rosie
