"Flowers In Pulaski" lyrics
Troubadour Blue & The SteelDrivers Lyrics
My daddy's daddy said it all started with bathtub gin
1924 when they outlawed our favorite sin
Flowers withered in them mason jars
And business boomed in that backyard
Daddy's daddy did what he had to do
When the law came South from Nashville
Rumors ran of a hillside still
Pretty soon them boys found more than a little proof
Grandma sent flowers to their families
Paper said it was a tragedy
They don't know how that Model T engine blew
They're pushing more than daisies in Giles County
Can't tell you what it is, so brother don't you ask me
Sheriff looks the other way when he sees them lily white bouquets
There's something about the flowers in Pulaski
When they finally passed that business down
Daddy bought a shop on Main in town
And momma painted poppies on the sign
Whole town was their grand opening
They knew the business it would bring
And pretty soon the news spread far and wide
They're pushing more than daisies in Giles County
Can't tell you what it is, so brother don't you ask me
Sheriff looks the other way when he sees them lily white bouquets
There's something about the flowers in Pulaski
Dickey's Flower shop is finally mine
And Uncle Sam says we're doing fine
But that ain't piston powder in the trucks on Tuesday night
They're pushing more than daisies in Giles County
Can't tell you what it is, so brother don't you ask me
Sheriff looks the other way when he sees them lily white bouquets
There's something about the flowers in Pulaski
They're pushing more than daisies in Giles County
Can't tell you what it is, so brother don't you ask me
Sheriff looks the other way when he sees them lily white bouquets
There's something about the flowers in Pulaski
1924 when they outlawed our favorite sin
Flowers withered in them mason jars
And business boomed in that backyard
Daddy's daddy did what he had to do
When the law came South from Nashville
Rumors ran of a hillside still
Pretty soon them boys found more than a little proof
Grandma sent flowers to their families
Paper said it was a tragedy
They don't know how that Model T engine blew
They're pushing more than daisies in Giles County
Can't tell you what it is, so brother don't you ask me
Sheriff looks the other way when he sees them lily white bouquets
There's something about the flowers in Pulaski
When they finally passed that business down
Daddy bought a shop on Main in town
And momma painted poppies on the sign
Whole town was their grand opening
They knew the business it would bring
And pretty soon the news spread far and wide
They're pushing more than daisies in Giles County
Can't tell you what it is, so brother don't you ask me
Sheriff looks the other way when he sees them lily white bouquets
There's something about the flowers in Pulaski

And Uncle Sam says we're doing fine

They're pushing more than daisies in Giles County
Can't tell you what it is, so brother don't you ask me
Sheriff looks the other way when he sees them lily white bouquets
There's something about the flowers in Pulaski
They're pushing more than daisies in Giles County
Can't tell you what it is, so brother don't you ask me
Sheriff looks the other way when he sees them lily white bouquets
There's something about the flowers in Pulaski
