Jamey Johnson - Mowin' Down The Roses Lyrics

Down in Mississippi
It's a perfect time of year
Break out the jumper cables
Try to crank this ol' John Deere
Well 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 purdy perfume
Straight down the toilet bowl
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 'em with your potpourri
On a burn pile in the back

Now I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
That you planted in our yard

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Down in Mississippi
Its getting perfectly clear
That anything you used to love
Just aint gonna grow round here

I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
