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
