Mowin Down the Roses - Jamey Johnson - That Lonesome Song
Standard Tuning
Intro:
Down in Mississippi
It s a perfect time of year
To break out the jumper cables
And try to crank this ol John Deere
I can t wait to fire it up
And put er into gear
I know I should be hurtin
But I m smiling ear to ear
Cuz I m mowin down the roses
I m mowin down the roses
I m mowin down the roses
That you planted in our yard
I poured out your purty perfume
Straight down the toilet bow
l
A
And I ripped your face straight off the wall
Left nothing but some holes
I loaded up your closets
Into fifteen garbage bags
And I smoked with your potpourri
On a burn pile in the back
Cuz I m mowin down the roses
I m mowin down the roses
I m mowin down the roses
That you planted in our yard
Down in Mississippi
Its getting perfectly clear
That anything you used to love
Just aint gonna grow round here
I m mowing down the roses
That you planted in our yard
I m mowin down the roses
I m mowin down the roses
I m mowin down the roses
