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 working late, but he never calls
They?ve got a house on a hill and no problems with bills
And a baby that?s on the way
But her heart longs for those yesterdays and his love
(repeat chorus)
They could still put a smile on her face
If he only had the time
