[Verse 1]
Black rose in the county rain
Mud on my boots, ache in my name
Fields go flat where the corn rows bend
Hear that warning coming again
My old truck coughs, then the sky turns black
You left a scar I can't get back
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that sound
I know that sign
The whole damn world
About to unwind
[Chorus]
Black rose, black rose
You bloom in the storm
Black rose, black rose
And you leave me worn
Thunder and lightning
Take what you need
Black rose, black rose
Bury me deep
[Verse 2]
I dug my hands in the hard red clay
Tried to wash your ghost away
Mama said boy, let it pass on by
But I still see it in my eyes
Old fence posts lean like they know my shame
Even the crows call out your name
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that sound
I know that sign
The whole damn world
About to unwind
[Chorus]
Black rose, black rose
You bloom in the storm
Black rose, black rose
And you leave me worn
Thunder and lightning
Take what you need
Black rose, black rose
Bury me deep
[Bridge]
Six feet under the summer sun
Every goodbye got me on the run
If I'm going down, let the truth be told
I loved too hard and I held too close
[Final Chorus]
Black rose, black rose
You bloom in the storm
Black rose, black rose
And you leave me worn
Thunder and lightning
Take what you need
Black rose, black rose
Bury me deep
