"I Bought The Flowers" lyrics

I started thinking driving around
I pulled off the highway just south of town
Surrounded by cotton
Cornersville's ole five and dime

I wasn't lost, and I didn't need gas
Sign on the window, we only take cash
Ten for a dozen
Yellow, pink, red, and white

I should tell you I'm sorry
Try to explain
How everything's different
Than it was in my day
But I'd just be saying
All the same lines
Like how much I love you
And thank God your mine
I know you're angry
And you just need time
So I bought the flowers

Life really started
With those little pink lines
You were born in December
And in the blink of an eye
You're halfway to college
I'm still trying to figure it out
And how

I should tell you I'm sorry
Try to explain
How everything's different
Than it was in my day
But I'd just be saying
All the same lines
Like how much I love you
And thank God you're mine
I know you're angry
And you just need time
So I bought the flowers

I just came to say goodnight
Yeah, I know I don't always get it right

I should tell you I'm sorry
And try to explain
How everything's different
Than it was in my day
But I'd just be saying
All the same lines
Like how much I love you
And thank God you're mine
I know you're angry
And you just need time
So I bought the flowers
Yeah, I bought the flowers
I bought the flowers
I bought ya flowers
I bought ya flowers
I bought the flowers
