Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

(I'm Gonna Paint Me) A Bed of Roses

In our bedroom there's a portrait done in different shades of gray

That I painted out before you broke my heart

In the scatch we're arm in arm but in the background there's a storm

And it soon become and tear my world apart.

And before my days are over I'm gonna try my hand again

Do a portrait like I wanted life to be

Put some flowers on the ground and color springtime all around

And paint the bed of roses just for me.

I'm gonna paint me a bed of roses

One without one single cloud in a big blue sky

Yeah I'm gonna paint me a bed of roses

Where love and patience never die...
