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
