Lost my suit in San Francisco
After too much wine
Lost the stopwatch in its pocket
Now I’m out of time
Left my heart in old Savannah
She was twenty-nine
Lived as though we’d lived forever
Trouble all the time
Got ourselves an old red trailer
We all piled in
Called ourselves a gang of heroes
The Black Rose Paladins
Said that we’d all lived
As long as we ever would
Hadn’t we seen through the story
That the world was good
All our heroes lived like cowboys
And cowboys never win
Afraid that we could live forever
And we almost did
All I ask is you be here to love me.
And we crashed that big red trailer
Crushed that battered tin
Only dead folks live like heroes
The Black Rose Paladins
All I ask is you be here to love me.
