Rosie

Jackson Browne

She was standing at the load-in

When the trucks rolled up

She was sniffin' all around

Like a half-grown female pup

She wasn't hard to talk to

Looked like she had nowhere to go

So I gave her a pass

So she could get in and see the show

Well, I sat her down right next to me

And I got her a beer

While I mixed that sound on the stage

So the band could hear

The more I watched her watch them play

The less I thought of to say

And when they walked off stage

You know, the drummer swept that girl away



But Rosie, you're all right

(You wear my ring)

When you hold me tight

(Rosie, that's my thing)

When you turn out the light

(I got to hand it to me)

Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie



Well I guess I might have known from the start

She'd come for a star

Well I told my imagination not to run too far

Of all the times that I've been burned

By now you think I'd've learned

That it's who you look like,

Not who you are

(You all keep that in mind)



Rosie, you're all right

(You wear my ring)

When you hold me tight

(Rosie, that's my thing)

When you turn out the light

(I got to hand it to me)

It looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie

It looks like it's me and you again tonight,

It looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie

Rosie…Rosie…Rosie…Rosie
