lyrics

I was 21 years old
There was a lot I couldn't be told
About the world, the times we live in
Our sense of Rhythm
To be young and Rocknroll
Nothing could shake us from our mold
The booze would take us,
And leave us vacant

Then along came a girl
All she did was a little twirl
Eyes like crystal, a mind remise of
Some kind of pistol and time just stopped

5 years in we'd seen no sin
We did what we want not what we need
The smell of flowers, the sound of music
We chose our future
Never a question about intentions
(it) was unspoken and we were floatin

Then along came the boy,
The house and the toys
We drank Baileys, and we were thankful
For what we had

The parks full of Autumn
leaves are falling the time was changing
One thing I'm sure of as the years go on
Is you

The boy'll find hell in his girls
He'll take my toys to go meet his toys
Maybe they'll be boys we don't know

The girl will make us smile
For a while, there'll be parties boys and lies and tears and love

The parks full of autumn
leaves We're falling the time was changing
One thing I'm sure of as the years go on
Is you

You say write me a love song
But I just don't know how it goes
There's nothin I can tell you
you just don't already know

about

The Jackson Roses Perth, Australia

The Jackson Roses are part of a new breed of Australiana.

They formed in early 2014 and slowly began building a small repertoire of songs based on honest song-writing in the tradition of the 70’s Alt-Country & Americana scene. Since then, their sound has become more solid, simple and refined to reflect the rich and dusty traditions of the regional musical culture that they represent, Australia. ... more
