Rose in Paradise Chris Young (Ft. Willie Nelson)

She was a flower for the takin'
Her beauty cut just like a knife
He was a banker from Macon
Swore he'd love her all his life

Bought her a mansion on a mountain
With a formal garden and a lot a land

But paradise became her prison
That Georgia banker was a jealous man

[Chorus]
Every time he'd talk about her
You could see the fire in his eyes
He'd say
I would walk through Hell on Sunday
To keep my Rose in Paradise

He hired a man to tend the garden
Keep an eye on her while he was gone
Some say they ran away together
Some say that gardener left alone

Now the banker is an old man
That mansion's crum-ble-ing down
He sits all day and stares at the garden
Not a trace of her was ever found
