The Rose Of Tyler Texas by Liz23

music and lyrics by michael cohen.
vocal by liz sumner
accompaniment by complicated people

her home’s out on the range
where the living is simple and people don’t ever change
home to her small town
where there’s never a doubt that everyone’s proud of

(chorus)
the rose of tyler texas
the one they the all-american homecoming queen of tyler texas
where everyone knows the prettiest rose, that grows east of abilene

way out in the sage
where the mule pulls the old plow somehow she turned the page
turned her back on our world
what a very strange girl
who once was the beautiful

and she will be what she's not supposed to be
and she'll break the bonds of family and security
and she'll take a greyhound bus to the other side
past the drive-in and the football field,
on her steed of shiny steel
like a valkerie she’ll ride
