feat. Sammy Kershaw
  
  I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
  On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
  Lyin' cold the way you left'em
  But at least your lips caressed them while you packed
  And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee
  That I poured and didn't drink
  But at least you thought you wanted it
  And that's so much more then I can say for me
  
  It's been a good year for the roses
  And many blooms still linger there
  The lawn could stand another mowin'
  Funny,I don't even care
  And when you turn to walk away
  As the door behind you closes
  The only thing I know to say
  It's been a good year for the roses
  
  After three full years of marriage
  It's the first time that I haven't made the bed
  I guess the reason we're not talkin'
  There's so little left to say,we haven't said
  And while a million thoughts go racin' through my mind
  I find I haven't spoke a word
  And from the bedroom,the familiar sounds
  Of our one baby's cryin' goes unheard
  
  But what a good year for the roses
  And may blooms still linger there
  The lawn could stand another mowin'
  Funny,I don't care
  And when you turn to walk away
  As the door behind you closes
  The only thing I know to say
  It's been a good year for the roses
  
  The only thing I know to say
  It's been a good year for the roses
