Merle Haggard — Im Gonna Paint Me A Bed of Roses

[Verse] In our bedroom, there's a portrait Done in different shades of gray That I penciled out before you broke my heart In the sketch, we're arm in arm But in the background, there's a storm That was soon to come and tear my world apart [Verse] And before my days are over I'm gonna try my hand again And do a portrait like I wanted life to be Put some flowers on the ground And color springtime all around And paint a bed of roses just for me [Chorus] I'm gonna paint me a bed of roses One without one single cloud in my big blue sky Yeah, I'm gonna paint me a bed of roses Where love and passion never die
