Mama started drinking and my brother just quit trying
How I came out like a rose
Got me out of North Dakota, but it did not change a thing
I left it in the yard, all covered up with snow

Sitting in this diner with a coffee in my hand
Waiting on a bus to some promise land
I got a one way ticket as far as it goes

It took a while to get here, it's been a long hard road

Sitting in this diner with a coffee in my hand
I got a one way ticket as far as it goes

I was only 13 when daddy died
I'm still bouncing back, heaven only knows

Ran off with what's his name when I turned 18
And I came out like a rose
And I came out like a rose
So I'm headed south to anywhere that ain't so damn cold
Where I can warm my heart and shake the chill from my bones
And I came out like a rose
Waiting on a bus to some promise land
And I came out like a rose

It took a while to get here, it's been a long hard road
And I came out like a rose
