Lyrics

She was a pretty swing shift waitress at a diner five miles from Vegas
With a smile and a story while she was fillin' your coffee cup
He was a long distance driver and between pulling those all nighters
He would always stop to talk a while before her shift was up

In time they fell in love and vowed to live their lives together
But a white dress and promises don't always mean forever

C1
Some times we can carry on and leave the hurt behind
But the burning pain of heart break is impossible to hide
Fate was cruel and luck was never really on thier side
Now he's left alone
With a memory of the true love he knew
And A Rose Tattoo

V2
They shared 6 years of love and that will never fade to grey
But then she held his hand , said good bye and slowly slipped away
It was all that he could stand and he felt like half a man
Cause all the muscle in the world couldn't make her stay

C2
Some wounds only sting untill your skin is healed up right
But the burning pain of heartbreak is impossible to hide
Fate was cruel and even though they fought with all there might
Now he's left alone
With A memory of the true love he knew
And A Rose Tattoo

bridge:
Sometimes it don't matter how hard we fight
In the end we can still get torn apart
But true love, it never really dies
It lives on and on forever deep in your heart

C 3
Some times you lucky a find that one love of your life
When two different worlds collide but the pieces fit just right
And He won't change a moment or take back one single tear
Even though he's left alone
With a burning pain that shows
He has memory's of the one true love he knew
And a rose tattoo
