 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)
 
 
 
 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)
