Roseanne the Bowling Alley Queen

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

[Verse]

Under hot neon lights

Rosanne takes her stance

From her mouth a cigarette dangles

Over her shoulder she throws a

Wink and a glance

The Bowling ball rolls

It's another strike

She's Breaking hearts every Friday night

[Prechorus]

She says

“Life’s a game

And I’m the pro”

But her pins are people

And down they go

[Chorus]

Roseanne, Roseanne the Bowling Alley Queen

She’s a wrecking ball

She’s a mean ass machine

Picking up men

Knocking down dreams

She’s the easiest piece this town’s ever seen

Roseanne, Roseanne the Bowling Alley Queen

[Verse 2]

Rumors follow her like tobacco smoke trails

While shes sporting a new ring on her finger

Or crying over another love that's failed

Her heart is jagged and her tongue sharp as steel

she loves to cut people to see if they heal

[Prechorus]

She says

“Life’s a game

And I’m the pro”

But her pins are people

And down they go

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Roseanne, Roseanne the Bowling Alley Queen

She’s a wrecking ball

She’s a mean ass machine

Picking up men

Knocking down dreams

She’s the nastiest piece this town’s ever seen

Roseanne, Roseanne the Bowling Alley Queen

Breaking up families and destroying dreams

Roseanne Roseanne the Bowling Alley Queen

Breaking up families and destroying dreams
