Roses and diesel don't mix
You can't just come and go
I know Venus came from Mars
And Venus sure could play guitar
Born in the way of desires
In my eyes, Venus was a star
Working hard, time was very
Few and far between, we'd marry
I wait up for you at night
Though I won't see you 'til January
Roses and diesel don't mix
You can't just come and go
When will I see you again?
I dread that you'll be on a bus to nowhere
Singing about the days that might have been
Put down that guitar, I'm talking to you
I can't seem to quite get through
Trying to talk about our future
A house, some kids, and how much I miss you
Roses and diesel don't mix
You can't just come and go
Roses and diesel don't mix
You can't just come and go
Roses and diesel don't mix
You can't just come and go
