Plastic Flowers On The Highway
Lyricist:John Cooley, Earl Hicks, Patterson Hood, Rob Malone, Brad Morgan
He was ready for the big trip He was moving to the city He had packed his prize possessions And gave away the rest
He was almost doing ninety The sky was blue, sun was shining All the shit, he left behind For the big world waiting there
He was almost out of Leighton When that phone truck didn't see him Hit the brake, slided sideways He never had a chance
Plastic flowers on the highway Bits of glass for the machine to sweep away Had to pass it on my way to where I was going For the next few minutes, I drove a little slower
Them M.A.D.D. mothers couldn't help him He was sober, it was Sunday Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com He was full of good home cooking As he crashed the savior's door
Plastic flowers on the highway Greasy spot on the asphalt for a while Every morning, new babies being born Who'll do the best they can to hang around a little while
My community service had me working for the county Cutting grass on the off-ramps and medians and such Every quarter mile or so, stands a brand new reminder Another traffic death in town, something new to cut around
Crashed out on the highway Plastic cross and a plastic bouquet Paramedics in the by-stander's gaze
Plastic flowers on the highway Bits of glass for the machine to sweep away Had to pass it on my way to where I was going The next few minutes I drove a little slower
