Nanci Griffith - Everything's Comin' Up Roses lyrics

(Nanci Griffith - Matthew Ryan)

This life is filled with wonder

This life is full of days not spent

Oh I cannot help but ponder

What relevance that lends

Chorus

Oh but everything is comin' up roses

And when I'm pushing daisies ...

They'll want roses anyway

Oh and everything's comin' up roses

It's comin' up roses every day

I've got a heart bent on confusion

I'm punch drunk straight half the time

I'm feeling watered down and diluted

Still the weather's holdin' fine

Chorus

There's a piece of land in Kentucky

My grandfather worked one long hot day

Now it's a flatland blacktop strip mall

Still, I remember what he'd say

Chorus twice

Everyday ... everyday ... buy the dozen ... everyday
