(tracy byrd/byron hill)
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 didnt 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
Theyve 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 didnt 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
