Lyrics William Clark Green – Rose Queen

I was just a young man, a little wet behind the ears
She grew up at the country club with the diamond chandeliers
I worked at the feed store I was broke and naive
She was next in line for the crown to be the rose queen

My momma always told me she was too rich for my blood
Her daddy always said I was never good enough
She was just a southern bell Lord I made her ring
Soakin’ wet from beads of sweat bustin’ at the seams

She went off to college I stayed my ass back home
She came back sororitized as a teenage debutant
Now she tries to act like she don’t remember me
I guess I’m only good enough once
I guess I’m only good enough once
For the rose queen for the rose queen
For the rose queen for the rose queen
