[00:00:00] A Good Year For the Roses - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)/Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:11] I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick

[00:00:15] On the cigarettes there in the ashtray

[00:00:23] Lyin' cold the way you left them

[00:00:26] At least your lips caressed them while you packed

[00:00:35] And a lip print on a half filled cup of coffee

[00:00:39] That you poured and didn't drink

[00:00:47] But at least you thought you wanted it

[00:00:50] And that's so much more than I can say for me

[00:00:56] But what a good year for the roses

[00:01:03] Many blooms still linger there

[00:01:08] The lawn could stand another mowing

[00:01:14] It's funny I don't even care

[00:01:20] And when you turned and walked away

[00:01:26] And as the door behind you closes

[00:01:32] The only thing I know to say

[00:01:38] It's been a good year for the roses

[00:01:52] After three full years of marriage

[00:01:55] It's the first time that you haven't made the bed

[00:02:03] I guess the reason we're not talking

[00:02:06] There's so little left to say we haven't said

[00:02:15] While a million thoughts go running through my mind

[00:02:19] I find I haven't spoke a word

[00:02:26] And from the bedroom those familiar sounds

[00:02:30] Of our one baby's crying goes unheard

[00:02:37] But what a good year for the roses

[00:02:43] Many blooms still linger there

[00:02:49] The lawn could stand another mowing

[00:02:55] It's funny I don't even care

[00:03:00] And when you turned and walked away

[00:03:06] And as the door behind you closes

[00:03:12] The only thing I know to say

[00:03:18] It's been a good year for the roses
