|
A couple of pretty flowers |
|
Is what I brought I to you |
|
I saw you through a broken window |
|
With a different point of view |
|
You had signs of depression |
|
From a long line of sin |
|
And your face tells a story |
|
Bout the places you have been |
|
I love you so, |
|
I thought you should know |
|
And that muddy waters flowin |
|
As you take my hand |
|
Past the creek down by the holler |
|
Through your daddies land |
|
I could buy you a diamond |
|
But I cannot change your world |
|
Cuz I aint got no money |
|
Youll never be my girl no no |
|
I thought you should know |
|
You was gonna be a singer |
|
And a big movie star |
|
But you cant catch no breaks baby |
|
And Hollywood is hard |
|
Now you work down at the time out |
|
Off 155 |
|
And youre dancing for your dollar |
|
Just tryin to stay alive |
|
It hurts me so |
|
I thought you should know |
|
You feed your addiction |
|
With your crystal meth |
|
And I plea for your life |
|
as it takes you to your death |
|
You make your deal with the devil |
|
As your looks begin to fade |
|
I saw you laughin through the tears |
|
As you slowly slipped away |
|
I watched you go |
|
I thought you should know |
|
Yeah I watched you go |
|
I thought you should know |
|
That cold rain is pourin |
|
As they lower you in a grave |
|
I can barely recognize you |
|
In your fragile state |
|
No more signs of depression |
|
From a long time ago |
|
I throw in a pretty flower |
|
As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose |
|
I thought you should know |
|
Yeah it was a rose |
|
I thought you should know |
|
A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you |
|
I saw you through a broken window |
|
With a different point of view.. |
