Redneck Roses lyrics
by Byrd Tracy

Not so long agoOn his way home from workHe'd stop by the side of the roadStep out of that old beat up FordThat he droveAnd he'd walk aroundSearchin' the groundFor a handful of wildflower bloomsThinkin' of where he'd be soonThere with herShe called them redneck roses'Cause that's what they wereA simple gift of loveFrom a country boy to his girlShe called them redneck rosesThey didn't cost a dimeBut they brought a smile to her faceEvery timeNow it's years down the lineShe sits home aloneIt's the usual end of the dayOnce again, he's workin' lateAnd never callsThey've got a house on a hillNo problems with billsAnd a baby that's on the wayBut her heart longs for those yesterdaysAnd his loveShe called them redneck roses'Cause that's what they wereA simple gift of loveFrom a country boy to his girlShe called them redneck rosesThey didn't cost a dimeBut they brought a smile to her faceEvery timeThey could still put a smile on her faceIf he only had the time
