Tracy Byrd - Redneck Roses lyrics

(tracy byrd/byron hill) Not so long ago On his way home from work He'd stop by the side of the road Step out of that old beat up ford That he drove And he'd walk around Searchin' the ground For a handful of wildflower blooms Thinkin' of where he'd be soon There with her She called them redneck roses 'cause that's 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 it's years down the line She sits home alone It's the usual end of the day Once again, he's still workin' late And never calls They've got a house on a hill No problems with bills And a baby that's on the way But her heart longs for those yesterdays And his love She called them redneck roses 'cause that's 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
