Flowers By The Side Of The Road Lyrics - Katrina Elam - Katrina Elam

Her Mama cussed she was out of film 

As her baby came down those stairs looking right at her boyfriend 

His hands, they shook as he pinned on her corsage 

And she almost cried 'cause she'd liked this guy from the very start 

Should've been just another first and not the last 

The beautiful moment in two lives 

When they looked back but now they're 

Flowers by the side of the road yeah, that's all that's left 

Of the hopes and dreams of two seventeen year-olds 

Some dreams live on and some, they don't 

But 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 she'll leave 

Flowers by the side of the road yeah, that's all that's left 

Of the hopes and dreams of two seventeen year-olds 

Some dreams live on and some, they don't 

All that's left to know, all that's left to show 

Are flowers by the side of the road, flowers by the side of the road 

It could've been me, it could've been you
