Schwa Lyrics

Backwoods Rose

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

Country roads lead the way to the light that always shines
Movin' through another day from the ones I've left behind
The secret ain't no secret, you know it's plain to see
You can't be truly happy, 'till you're absolutely free
But you know that lady keeps me goin,
She always keeps me knowin, she's my backwoods Rose

Movin' down that road, the wind blowing through my hair
I don't know where I' going and you know I just don't care
I'm looking for that golden road to everything that's kind
But that ain't always easy, I got Rosie on my mind
But you know that lady keeps me goin’
She always keeps me knowin, she's my backwoods Rose.

Fear, should I go, where to go, I don't know
Fear, should I go, where to go, I don't know

I turn and head for home, to the place I know so well
You know I never get too far, ‘cause I'm under Rosie's spell
She says to me, "Hey baby, I been wondering where you'd gone"
I say, "My pretty Rosie, you know you're the only one"
But you know that lady keeps me goin’
She always keeps me knowin, she's my Backwoods Rose.
