Lyrics

She had never been a simple girl
Always wanting more from this crazy world
With shells around his neck and poems on his breath
She thought she'd met the one who would love her 'til the end

20 yellow roses in his hands
And a note that said "I'd love to be your man
and I'll do whatever I can
To leave here with you and 20 yellow roses in your hands"

They spent night after night camped out by the fire's light
She'd tell him of her plans - with him, she had nothing to hide
They'd fight like cats and dogs - and hardly got along
When she'd walk away, he'd make it alright with a song and

20 yellow roses in his hands
And a note that said "Should have been a better man, so I'll do whatever I can to leave here with you and 20 yellow roses in your hands"

They tried their very best, but you know how it goes
He took a wagon train out west, where he went, nobody knows
She moved on with her life, became a rich man's wife
But on her wedding day, she would get a big surprise

20 yellow roses in his hands
And a note that said "I should have been the man
So I'll do whatever I can
to leave here with you and
20 yellow roses in your hands"

As the time crept on, she began to feel the sting
'Til death do us part wasn't quite the right ending
She spent her days and nights trying to track him down
Everywhere she went, she'd look for petals on the ground

But time moves on
And he was gone
Passed along
Her heart could never heal from this
She'd never get to kiss those lips
Could never have expected it, so she was at his door with just one wish and

20 yellow roses in her hands
And a note that said: "I don't know where you stand,
but I can't find another man who loves me for who I am"
Twenty yellow roses in her hands
