A couple of pretty flowers Is what I brought I 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 waters flowin As you take my hand Past the creek down by the holler Through your daddies land I could buy you a diamond But I cannot change your 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 Or be a movie star But you cant catch no breaks baby And Hollywood is hard
Now you work down at the time out Off 155 And you're dancing for your dollar Just tryin to stay alive It hurts me so I thought you should know
You feed your addiction With your crystal meth And I plea 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 lower you in a grave 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 is what I brought to you I saw you through a broken window With a different point of view
