[Verse 1] When I was in my 20s, I wanted a rose garden A white split rail fence A big beautiful White House On a prairie Or the wild horses ran To watch the sunsets Come up and go down I wanted my husband To round up cattle Wise out feeding the chickens That was my dream [Pre-Chorus] But every time I fell in love They used me Cheated on me Or ran away No one has ever stayed But God I keep giving my heart And they keep ripping it back out [Chorus] Rose garden, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) I still believe in love Rose garden, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) But I lost my trust in people I still believe in love I still believe in love [Verse 2] Now I’m old With a young heart But an old soul I’m not the same girl I don’t hold my head As high as I used to I’m afraid of the shadows Because bad men hide there It didn’t used to bother me much Cause I had family with me I took care of my mom My dad, my daughter, my son My uncle, his stepdaughter And my stepbrother Even as a trucker I always had somebody to talk to [Pre-Chorus] But the last two and a half months Nobody’s lived in my house And for the last year and a half Almost two years Nobody has cared How I feel No birthdays No Mother’s Day No Valentine’s Day No Christmas When I fall from an eight foot ladder Nobody even checked on me [Chorus] Rose garden, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) I still believe in love Rose garden, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) But I lost my trust in people I still believe in love I still believe in love [Bridge] Someone, it’s hard to get up But I do I made a promise to God And I don’t break my promises I’ll finish when I start Even if it kills me I’ll finish when I start Even if it kills me [Final Chorus] Rose garden, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) I still believe in love Rose garden, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) But I lost my trust in people I still believe in love I still believe in love Rose garden, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) I’m still standing here Rose garden, where'd you go? (where'd you go?) With an old soul and a young heart I still believe in love I still believe in love
