“White Rose” is a song by Toby Keith from his album “Big Dog Daddy,” released in 2007. The song tells the story of a bygone era and the impact of progress on small-town America, symbolized by an old, closed-down gas station with a white rose on its sign.

Here are the lyrics to “White Rose” by Toby Keith:

White Rose

Chickashay was a small town An Oklahoma oil boom On its way back down

Its Saturday night here’s the deal A big buck for an O’Neal Grady County Courthouse is for sale

Sell one and every house you got to keep the factory running Well I bet you if we go back We’ll see the roof was caving in on that White Rose Filling Station

We were just trying to make a livin’ working hard to make a buck But like ‘em good old boys and the white rose stuck On the map, oh baby

Back then a good time was a coke and an RC Cola In the white rose, an old garage Where we’d tune up a motor

You could grab a couple bucks and a couple of tanks And you’d make it to the fast lanes Racing those big old white walls in the dirt

We were just trying to make a livin’ working hard to make a buck But like ‘em good old boys and the white rose stuck On the map, oh baby

Sometimes I think about that filling station And how it gets in your mind Some things you never leave behind

Chickashay was a small town A little town just like the others Trying to make it on its own

A white rose, an old garage Where we’d fix up the cars Where we’d talk about the weather and swap our trade

We were just trying to make a livin’ working hard to make a buck But like ‘em good old boys and the white rose stuck On the map, oh baby

We were just trying to make a livin’ working hard to make a buck But like ‘em good old boys and the white rose stuck On the map, oh baby

The song captures a sense of nostalgia and loss, reflecting on the changes brought by time and development in rural America.
