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
