lyrics

So Rosen and Danny they finally got married
They'll get their own trailer and grow all their own weed
So Rosen and Danny they finally got married

One day he caught her by the fireplace
their eyes were lit with sorrow
Despite all rattlesnakes and their birth certificates
They talked about tomorrow
Back and forth..

When Rosen got scared she would crawl up the ladder
Hiding from her uncle who got fatter and fatter
When Rosen got scared she would climb up the ladder

When Danny was two he liked to load Papa's rifle
Listening to the words Papa read from the bible
When Danny was two he liked to load Papa's rifle

One evening Rosen woke up, the rooster was crowing
She found it in the arms of her dad who was moaning
One evening She woke up the rooster was crying

One day he caught her by the fireplace
Their eyes were lit with sorrow
Despite all rattlesnakes and their birth certificates
They talked about tomorrow

Back and forth
They walk hand in hand
Slow motions in the sand
"Get away"
All the neighbors say
"Blow it up and run,
Flee this hole in the ground"

Rosen flew and almost reached the blue
Danny caught her hand,
Pulled her down to the sand
Time went by
Danny touched her thigh
Her belly grew and grew
He didn't have a clue

They got away some would say
Right around the hill
They settled down to chill
They found a spot and grew their pot
He offered her a ring
They sat down and waited for spring
