Vern Gosdin Rough Around The Edges Lyrics

It’ll be rough around the edges
‘Cause all I’ve got is two hard workin’ hands
It won’t be no bed of roses
Oh, I love you and I’ll do the best I can

Limousines are parked there in your driveway
You were born into the finer things in life
Magazines would pay a fortune for your picture
Are you sure you want to be a poor man’s wife

It’s gonna get rough around the edges
A way of life that you won’t understand
It’ll be tough to burn those bridges
Livin’ with a common labor man Chandeliers won’t decorate our hallway
There’ll be no fancy carpet on the floor
But through the years
[talk]
But through the years
Ah, you know I’ll try to prove it to you someway
Oh, a millionaire could never love you more

It’ll be rough around the edges
There’ll be no diamonds in your wedding band
It won’t be no bed of roses
Oh, I love you and I’ll do the best I can

It’s gonna get rough around the edges
[fade]
There’ll be no diamonds in your wedding band
