Track Title: Rosie Album Title: Running On Empty Prime Artist: Jackson Browne Producer: Jackson Browne Written by: Donald Miller Written by: Jackson Browne Lyrics: 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 nowhere to go So I gave her a pass so she could get in to see the show. 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 me play, the less I thought of to say And when they walked offstage the drummer swept that girl away. Chorus: Rosie, you're all right, you wear my ring When you hold me tight, Rosie, that's my thing When you turn out the light I got to hand it to me Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie. Well, I guess I might have known from the start she'd come for a star But I told my imagination not to run too far Of all the times that I've been burned, by now you'd think I'd learn That it's who you look like, not who you are.
