Darrell Mccall – Weeds Outlived The Roses Lyrics

We moved on the second floor of a grocery store garage
Room and board and gasoline, livin’ on the job
Our backyard is asphalt with parking meter trees
And there ain’t no peace and quiet there ‘til all the people leave
But she got tired of working hard and running low on luck
She loaded up her dreams and left in my ol’ pick-up truck

Oh, the weeds outlived the roses, in her ol’ flower pot
And all I’ve got is a greasy spot in an empty parking lot
We spent a lot of time out there, when the day would end
And Lord I’d love to see her now and my ol’ truck pull in

Well, I’d like to have the gasoline, I’ve run out on the ground
Too busy missing both of them, to cut the nozzle down
Everywhere from anywhere in a fifty dollar truck
I hope that them ol’ booty tires and taped-up wires hold up

Oh, the weeds outlived the roses, in her ol’ flower pot
And all I’ve got is a greasy spot in an empty parking lot
We spent a lot of time out there, when the day would end
And Lord I’d love to see her now and my ol’ truck pull in

Oh, the weeds outlived the roses, in her ol’ flower pot
And all I’ve got is a greasy spot in an empty parking lot ... fade ...
