To Gloria

To Gloria All the lights have faded on these streets of this forgotten town That's when she flips the open sign, then turns it back around The working men pull up, walk in, they're all on borrowed time Monday morning hopes and dreams are dying on the vine I never told a single soul, she's buried in the past A thousand miles of broken hearts, her name on every overpass I still send flowers with the name, a flame that burned too fast To Gloria That abandoned pool near our high school, used for everything but getting wet You walked up to me in your Guess jeans, thought you might have just lost a bet But you grabbed right hold of both my hands Said, 'I love this song, come on, let's dance' That night, it lasted all summer long Then just like that, the thrill was gone I never told a single soul, she's buried in the past A thousand miles of broken hearts, her name on every overpass I still send flowers with the name, a flame that burned too fast To Gloria Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything I still send flowers with the name, a flame that burned too fast To Gloria To all the hearts you burned since then, we raise a tear-filled glass To Gloria Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything Red roses don't mean anything
