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
