A
down in mississippi 

A
it’s a perfect time of year

 A
to break out the jumper cables

 A
and try to crank this ol’ john deere 

A

A
and put er’ into gear

 A

A
but i’m smiling ear to ear

A
cuz i’m mowin down the roses
A

 D7
i’m mowin down the roses 

A
that you planted in our yard

A
i poured out your purty perfume 

A
straight down the toilet bow
l 
 A
and i ripped your face straight off the wall 

A
left nothing but some holes 

A
i loaded up your closets 

A
into fifteen garbage bags

 A
and i smoked with your potpourri 

A
on a burn pile in the back

A
cuz i’m mowin down the roses

 A
i’m mowin down the roses 

D7
i’m mowin down the roses 

A
that you planted in our yard

A
down in mississippi

 A

 A
that anything you used to love 

A
just aint gonna grow round here
D7
