Katrina Elam - Flowers By The Side Of The Road Lyrics
Her Mama cussedShe was out of filmAs her baby came down those stairsLooking right at her boyfriendHis hands, they shookAs he pinned on her corsageAnd she almost criedCause she'd liked this guyFrom the very start.Shoulda been just another firstAnd not the lastBeautiful moment in two livesWhen they looked backBut now they're(chorus)Flowers by the side of the roadYeah, that's all that's leftOf the hopes and dreamsOf two seventeen year-oldsSome dreams live onAnd some, they don'tAll that's left to knowAll that's left to showAre flowers by the side of the roadCould've been meCould've been youHow many times have I saidI've just had one or twoIt's a sobering thoughtIt's a sobering sightHow like a bad, bad dreamYou can lose everythingOn a careless nightBe the one who livesBe the one who's goneBe the mother whose heartHas to somehow go onBut she'll leave(Repeat chorus)
