Mowin Down the Roses - Jamey Johnson - That Lonesome Song
Standard Tuning
Intro: A
Down in Mississippi?
It's a perfect time of year
?A
To break out the jumper cables
?A
And try to crank this ol' John Deere?
I can't wait to fire it up?
And put er' into gear
?A
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
?D7
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
?A
And I smoked with your potpourri?
On a burn pile in the back
Cuz I'm mowin down the roses
?A
I'm mowin down the roses?
I'm mowin down the roses?
That you planted in our yard
Down in Mississippi
?A
Its getting perfectly clear
?A
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
?A
I'm mowin down the roses?
