He?d stop by the side of the road
Fm Bb Eb
Step out of that old beat up Ford, that he drove
Cm7
And he?d walk around searchin? the ground
Fm Bb7
For a handful of wildflower blooms
Fm Bb7 Eb
Thinkin? of where he?d be soon, there with her
Eb/G Ab Bb Eb
She called them red neck roses, cause that?s what they were
Fm7 Ab Bb7 Bb7sus Bb7
A simple gift of love from a country boy to his girl
Eb/G Ab Bb Cm Bb Ab
She called them redneck roses they didn?t cost a dime
Fm Bb Eb
But they brought a smile to her face every time
Eb Cm
Now it?s years down the line she sits home alone
Fm Bb

Fm Bb Eb
Once a gain he?s still working late, but he never calls

They?ve got a house on a hill and no problems with bills
Fm Bb7
And a baby that?s on the way

But her heart longs for those yester days and his love
