well, she was standing at the load in, when the trucks rolled up

                                                          
She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pup

                                                          
She wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had no where 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 offstage, the drummer swept that girl away


(chorus)

                                   
but Rosie your alright (you wear my ring)

                                        
when you hold me tight (Rosie, that's my thing)

                                                
when you turn out the lights (I got to hand it to me)

  (let ring)                                     ,   
Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie


                                                                    
Well I guess I might've known from the start, she'd come for a star

                                                  
Could've told my imagination not to run too far

                                                                
with all the times that I've been burned, by now you'd think I'd  learned

                                           
that it's who you look like, not who you are

(repeat Chorus)

end with...
