You might say she started out
Without what folks round here
Call a fair shake
A little girl with no shoes on her feet
Tangled hair
Not a nickel to her name
And not a care
But no matter what
Her smile came shining through
Chorus
Cause a rose is a rose is a rose
And everybody knows a little
Sunlight and room to grow was all she needed
And seeing her face in town was like
Spring time coming around well
I guess it just goes to show
A rose is a rose is a rose
Tommy lee always knew
What he would do
Cause she moved him deep down in his heart
And everybody smiled at such a pair
Could they last
With two different worlds
And sides of the tracks
But no matter what
Their love came shining through
Chorus
A rose is a rose
It always finds a way to shine
Beauty is a state of mind
And seeing her face in town was like
Spring time coming around well
I guess it just goes to show
A rose is a rose is a rose
