Verse 1. 
D                      F#m 
Not so long ago On his way home from work 
      G                       A 
He'd stop by the side of the road 
      G                       A 
Step out of that old beat up Ford 
         D 
That he drove 
 
Verse 2. 
D                     F#m 
And he'd walk around Searchin' the ground 
       G                       A 
For a handful of wild flower blooms 
G                          A 
Thinkin' of where he'd be soon 
            D 
There with her 
 
Chorus: 
                         G      A                      D 
She called them redneck roses 'Cause that's what they were 
         Em                   G                  A 
A simple gift of love From a country boy to his girl 
                         G     A                 Bm G 
She called them redneck roses They didn't cost a dime 
     Em                          A          D      
But they brought a smile to her face Every time 
 
Verse 3. 
Now it's years down the line She sits home alone 
It's the usual end of the day  
Once again, he's still workin' late 
And he never calls 
Verse 4. 
They've got a house on a hill No problem with bills 
And a baby that's on the way  
But her heart longs for those yesterdays 
And his love 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Ending: 
D          Em                       A 
They could still put a smile on her face 
           A7       D 
If he only had the time
