| A couple of pretty flowers
|
| That’s what I brought 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 water’s flowin'
|
| As you take my hand
|
| Past the creek down by the holler
|
| Through your daddy’s land
|
| I could buy you a diamond
|
| But I cannot change the world
|
| 'Cuz I ain’t got no money
|
| You’ll never be my girl no no
|
| I thought you should know
|
| You was gonna be a singer
|
| And a big movie star
|
| But you can’t catch no breaks baby
|
| And Hollywood is hard
|
| Now you work down at the Timeout
|
| Off 155
|
| And you’re dancing for your dollar
|
| Just tryin' to stay alive
|
| It hurts me so
|
| I thought you should kno
|
| You feed your addiction
|
| With your crystal meth
|
| And I plead 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 lay you in the grave
|
| And 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
|
| That’s what I brought to you
|
| I saw you through a broken window
|
| With a different point of view |
