Redneck Roses

D#                     Gm
Not so long ago on his way home from work
     G#                      Fm
He’d stop by the side of the road
     G#                      Fm            D#
Step out of that old beat up Ford, that he drove
                     Gm
And he’d walk around searchin’ the ground
      G#                    Fm
For a handful of wildflower blooms
G#                        Fm               D#
Thinkin’ of where he’d be soon, there with her…

(chorus)

                        G#     A#                     D#
She called them redneck roses, cause that’s what they were
         G#                  Fm                 A#
A simple gift of love from a country boy to his girl
                        G#    A#                 Cm  G#
She called them redneck roses they didn’t cost a dime
    Fm                            A#         D#
But they brought a smile to her face every time


D#                               Gm
Now it’s years down the line she sits home alone
         G#               Fm
It’s the usual end of the day
     G#                       Fm                 D#
Once again he’s still working late, but he never calls
                                     Gm
They’ve got a house on a hill and no problems with bills
      G#                 Fm
And a baby that’s on the way
        G#                          Fm           D#
But her heart longs for those yesterdays and his love

(repeat chorus)

           G#                       A#
They could still put a smile on her face
                   D#
If he only had the time
