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 daddy's land I could buy you a diamond But I cannot change your world 'Cause 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 can't 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 lay 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

Can I meet him? Lol
Where is Ballad of a Southern Man? It used to be on here. Now I can't find it anywhere on TH-cam?
Love this 😊
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 daddy's land
I could buy you a diamond
But I cannot change your world
'Cause 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 can't 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 lay 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
f this song and you
Damn man
This song is food for the soul
