You promised me roses   When you came around   There was nothing but weeds here   Growing out of the ground      I?ve given you this   And I?ve given you that   I?m givin? all my love to   Someone who won?t give it back      I?m planting flowers on a gravel road   Waiting on a bloom   Trying to make a garden grow   Where nothing ever grew      I give you my attention   I keep you from the cold   But I might as well be planting   Flowers on a gravel road      Well, this just ain?t working   That much I know   If I didn?t love you   I could just let it go      So when you feel like trying   And talking to me   Go to the rock and the hard place   'Cause that?s where I?ll be      Planting flowers on a gravel road   And waiting on a bloom   Trying to make a garden grow   Where nothing ever grew      And I give you my attention   I keep you from the cold   But I might as well be planting   Flowers on a gravel road      I don?t know what?s sadder   Fact you don?t care   Or the fact of the matter   That I?m getting nowhere      Running in circles   And chasing your heart   I can?t seem to stop now   Why did I ever start?      Planting flowers on a gravel road   Waiting on a bloom   Trying to make a garden grow   Where nothing ever grew      And I give you my attention   I keep you from the cold   But I might as well be planting   Flowers on a gravel road   Oh, I might as well be planting   Flowers on a gravel road
