Everything's Comin' Up Roses Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

This life is filled with wonder 

This life is full of days not spent 

I cannot help but ponder 

Just what relevance that lends 

But everything is comin' up roses 

And I'm pushin' up daisies 

They'll want roses anyway 

Oh and everything is comin' up roses 

It's comin' up roses every day 

I've got a heart bent on confusion 

I'm punch drunk straight half the time 

I'm feelin' watered down and diluted 

Still this weathers holdin' fine 

And everything is comin' up roses 

Oh and I'm pushin' up daisies 

They'll want roses anyway 

Oh and everything is comin' up roses 

It's comin' up roses every day 

There's a piece of land in Kentucky 

My grandfather worked one long hot day 

Now it's a flatland black top strip mall 

Still, I remember what he'd say 

It's everything is comin' up roses 

And when I'm pushin' up daisies 

They'll want roses anyway 

Oh and everything is comin' up roses 

It's comin' up roses every day 

Yeah it's everything is comin' up roses 

And when I'm pushin' up daisies 

They'll want roses anyway 

Oh and everything is comin' up roses 

Comin' up roses every day 

Everyday, buy the dozen, everyday
