A Good Year For The Roses
recorded by George Jones
written by Jerry Chesnut
C
I can hardly bare the sight of lipstick
            F                   C
On the cigar-ettes there in the ashtray
 
Lying cold the way you left them
                       F                  C
At least your lips caressed them while you packed
 
      F
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
                           C
That you poured and didn't drink
       G7
But at least you thought you wanted it
                                       C
That's so much more than I can say for me
 
                              F
It's been a good year for the roses
G7                       C
Many blooms still linger there
                             F
The lawn could stand another mowing
G7                      C
It's funny I don't even care

                               F
And when you turned and walked away
G7                         F  C
And as the door behind you cl-oses 
                         F
The only thing I know to say
G7                            C
It's been a good year for the roses 
 
                                   
After three full years of marriage
                             F                C
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
 
I guess the reason we're not talking
                          F              C
There's so little left to say we haven't said
 
        F
While a million thoughts go running through my mind
                         C
I find I haven't spoke a word
             G7
And from the bedroom those familiar sounds
                                C
Of our one baby's crying goes unheard
