Capo 1st Fret
Verse 1.
D F#m
Not so long ago On his way home from work
G A
He'd stop by the side of the road
G A
Step out of that old beat up Ford
D
That he drove
Verse 2.
D F#m
And he'd walk around Searchin' the ground
G A
For a handful of wild flower blooms
G A
Thinkin' of where he'd be soon
D
There with her
Chorus:
G A D
She called them redneck roses 'Cause that's what they were
Em G A
A simple gift of love From a country boy to his girl
G A Bm G
She called them redneck roses They didn't cost a dime
Em A D
But they brought a smile to her face Every time
Verse 3.
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 he never calls
Verse 4.
They've got a house on a hill No problem with bills
And a baby that's on the way
But her heart longs for those yesterdays
And his love
Repeat Chorus
Ending:
D Em A
They could still put a smile on her face
A7 D
If he only had the time
