Flowers By The Side Of The Road
By Katrina Elam

Capo 2

         A               D      A         
Her mama cussed, she was out of film
       D         A          E                       F#m  D
As her baby came down those stairs looking right at him
                A                     D       A
His hands, they shook as he pinned on that corsage
        D      A                 E                       F#m        D
And she almost cried cause she liked this guy from the very start 
D                 A              E 
Shoulda been just another first, not the last
D           A             E
A beautiful moment in two lives when they looked back, now they’re

Chorus:
A              D           A
Flowers by the side of the road
             F#m                    E                   D 
Yeah ,that’s all that’s left of the hopes and dreams of two seventeen year olds
E                                  A
Some dreams live on and some, they don’t 
D          A             D          A                D              E           A
All that’s left to know, all that’s left to show are flowers by the side of the road


Could’ve been me, could’ve been you
How many times have I said I’ve just had one or two
It’s a sobering thought, it’s a sobering sight
How like a bad, bad dream you can lose everything on a careless night
Be the one who lives, be the one who’s gone
Be the mother whose heart has to somehow go on, but she’ll leave

Chorus
