Reverend John was an upstanding preacher man
Sang tenor in a gospel band
They were driving home on a Saturday night
Last thing he saw was a drunk's headlights
Now his wife ties roses to a wooden cross
At the place by the highway where her man was lost
Look! (Look) Look at those flowers
Look! (Look) Remember them well
Look! (Look) Look at those flowers
Every rose petal's got a tale to tell

Jody Brown was a hard-working family man
Made a good living with his own two hands
He started in drinking when they closed the mill
Then a little left of sinner coming over the hill
Now his wife ties roses on a wooden cross
At the place by the highway where her man was lost
Look! (Look) Look at those flowers
Look! (Look) Remember them well
Look! (Look) Look at those flowers
Every rose petal's got a tale to tell
So tired, so many miles to go
I'm just trying to get home
So tired, so dark out on this road
I'm just trying to get home

Look! (Look) Look at those flowers
Look! (Look) Remember them well
Look! (Look) Look at those flowers
Every rose petal's got a tale to tell
So tired, so many miles to go
I'm just trying to get home
So tired, so dark out on this road
I'm just trying, trying to get home
So tired, so many miles to go
Trying, trying hard to get home
So tired, so dark out on this road
Trying to get home
Trying to get home
