Your reputation's bad and it's getting worse   You couldn't get a dollar for what your word is worth   Your bad luck runs you down like bad boys at your heels   But I could never deny your eyes begging for one more meal      Sister wild rose, it's the hard road   But you and I know you can't ever let go      You took it a long long way   You back out and faith doing up   All that good good stuff thinking   It was worth the trade      You let hold you down   You let tear you apart   And hold you in them   Dirty hands squeeze your hostage heart      Sister wild rose, it's the hard road   But you and I know you can't ever let go   Keep your love alive, it keeps you warm at night   Coming from the cold, my sister wild rose      La, la, la, la, la   La, la, la, la, la      Oh no, no, sister wild rose, it's the hard road   But you and I know you can't ever let go   No, keep your love alive, Lord, it keeps you warm at night   Coming from the cold, my sister wild rose
