John Prine – One Red Rose Lyrics 15 years ago
This is one of my favourite jp songs. I'd like to know what people make of the rose pressed in the bible. Did the singer find it after his love left him?

Thanks - it's an interesting idea. 'Sweet songs never last.....' I think there are a number of things involved. Literally the family couldn't afford a decent radio because all the money was going into the hole in Sam's arm. But also the sweet and innocent songs of youth couldn't be sung in this house because the whole family was fractured or broken because of Sam's habit.

Any ideas about 'popped his last balloon?' Could this be some reference to drug paraphernalia?
