The Douglas Brothers Fairy Dust And Wild Rose Lyrics

I picked her up
On a lonely road
Where her broken car
Flashed morse code.
She smiled and said
'You know you saved my life.”
I didn't know then
She was only half right.

Oh these lonesome roads.
Oh these lonesome roads.
Fairy dust and wild rose.

It turned out she was quite
The conversationalist,
And I gotta say,
A kind of optimist.
I learned about history
And broken records
And how you can count on wool
In every kind of weather.

Oh these lonesome roads.
Oh these lonesome roads.
Out here the wind sure blows.

I learned that shoes
Are an art form,
And we're all filled with electricity
That you can really feel in a thunderstorm.
Green beans are a miracle,
But not so much parsnips.
And she knew a song about
Sticky lips and giddy hips.

Oh these lonesome roads.
Oh these lonesome roads.
On and on they go.

She had a lot more to say,
But it would take sixteen more verses.
I dropped her at the garage,
Felt kinda empty, and what's worse is
She smiled when
She said goodbye,
And her smile still
Makes me cry.

Oh these lonesome roads.
Oh these lonesome roads.
Fairy dust and wild rose.
