Down in Mississippi its a perfect time of year
To bring out the jumper cables
And crack this old John Deere
Well I cant wait to fire it up
And put her into gear
I know that I should be hurting
But I'm smiling ear to ear
Cause I'm mowin' down the roses [Repeat: x3]
That you planted in our yard
I poured out your pretty perfume
Straight down the toilet bowl
And I'm ripped your face straight off the wall
Left nothin' but some holes
I loaded up your closets into 15 garbage bags
And I smoked 'em with your popuri with a burn pile in a bag
[Chorus]
Down in Mississippi its getting perfectly clear
That anything you used to love
Ain't going to grow around here
Cause I'm mowin' down the roses
That you planted in our yard
[Repeat: x3]
I'm mowin' down the roses
To bring out the jumper cables
And crack this old John Deere
Well I cant wait to fire it up
And put her into gear
I know that I should be hurting
But I'm smiling ear to ear
Cause I'm mowin' down the roses [Repeat: x3]
That you planted in our yard
I poured out your pretty perfume
Straight down the toilet bowl
And I'm ripped your face straight off the wall
Left nothin' but some holes
I loaded up your closets into 15 garbage bags
And I smoked 'em with your popuri with a burn pile in a bag
[Chorus]
Down in Mississippi its getting perfectly clear
That anything you used to love
Ain't going to grow around here
Cause I'm mowin' down the roses
That you planted in our yard
[Repeat: x3]
I'm mowin' down the roses
