Redneck Roses

Not so long ago on his way home from work
Hed stop by the side of the road
Step out of that old beat up ford
That he drove

And hed walk around, searchin the ground
For a handful of wildflower blooms
Thinkin of where hed be soon
There with her

She called them redneck roses
Cause thats what they were
A simple gift of love from a country boy to his girl
She called them redneck roses
They didn't cost a dime
But they brought a smile to her face every time

Now its years down the line, she sits home alone
Its the usual end of the day
Once again, hes still workin' late
And never calls

They've got a house on a hill, no problems with bills
And a baby thats on the way
But her heart longs for those yesterdays
And his love

She called them redneck roses
Cause thats what they were
A simple gift of love from a country boy to his girl
She called them redneck roses
They didn't cost a dime
But they brought a smile to her face every time

They could still put a smile on her face
If he only had the time
