Bringin' Home the Roses

I stepped into a barroom On a cold and windy evening Saw a man there sittin' at a stool He sat there lookin' sorry With a big bouquet of flowers Liquored up and smokin' like a fool So I looked at him, he looked at me And I said, "How 'bout the weather?" He said, "You know, pal, that ain't what's on my mind I made a big mistake again So, just for now, I will pretend She ain't mad at home 'til closin' time" So, I'm bringin' home the roses In a pretty colored paper Like I've done so many times before 'Cause honesty ain't never done This old boy any favors Flowers might just get me through the door I've always been the kind of man Who learned from his experience And this time, I just took him at his word Thought about my wife at home Just sittin' sad and all alone And I know that ain't what my sweet gal deserves So I called her up near closin' time To tell her just what's on my mind And I'd be comin' home after two But judgin' by her pitchy tone And her screamin' on the telephone I might need those flowers more than you So I'm bringin' home the roses In the pretty colored paper Like I never had to do before 'Cause honesty ain't never done This old boy any favors Flowers just might get me through the door And flowers just might get me through the door
