Roses and diesel don`t mix. 
You can`t just come and go 
I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone
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 
I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone
When will I see you again? 
On the road next week, 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 
I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone
Oh no, I won`t let go 
In time you will know 
What it means to be... 
All in good time
Roses and diesel don`t mix. 
You can`t just come and go 
I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone
Roses and diesel don`t mix. 
You can`t just come and go 
I sit around and wonder, why I should be alone
