Still in the Family Songtext
von Eileen Rose

She says, she wants to build her life around him
He takes her dancing
She paints her face to hide the man he is
Romantic like our mother was
She gives him money

She pours a drink
And draws her coat around her
Says, "I'm off the wagon
I only want to find a little peace
Redemption's not for everyone"

I'd like to wish her all the best
But that ain't what comes next
I turn to Rose, to Rose, to Rose
Those shades aren't fooling anyone


Beautiful girl, it's all in the family
Why do you take it like you're owed it?
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're right
Why do you ask? I said I wanted to know

She says, she wants to hide herself in him
He takes her dancing
Thinks a lot about when we were kids
Adventure's not for everyone
Hey, Rose, maybe you're not fooling anyone

Beautiful girl, it's still in the family
Why don't you take it? You own it, honey
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're right
Oh why are you crying?

You said you wanted to know
You said you wanted to know
Redemption's not for everyone
Redemption's not for Rose
For Rose, for Rose
