Flowers by the Road

Just some more flowers by the road

Just another story that'll go untold

Because his picture didn't fit

What the paper thought looked innocent 

And now his story, we will never know

 

He couldn't wait for their new start

Away from trouble and the shadows in the dark

At night he'd watch her while she sleeps

He couldn't believe how lucky he was, she was his

 

Times were hard but they got by

As she cooked dinner she had that look in her eye

As she spoke of the people they could be

And inside her grew their family

 

Now its just some more flowers by the road

Just another story that'll go untold

because his picture didn't fit

what the paper thoughht looked innocent

And now his daughter he will never know

 

Now that they'd found him, he only pleeds

Leave my family in peace

"Just this one thing and your debts clean"

But he knew, what that really means

 

They waited for him in the night

No time to struggle or out up a fight

and as his life flashed before his eyes, he heard his baby cry

And prayed she would have a better life than him

 

Because its just some more flowers by the road

Just another story that'll go untold

because his picture didn't fit

what the paper thought looked innocent

And now his daughter he will never know

 

Its just some more flowers by the road

Just another story that'll go untold

because his picture didn't fit

what the paper thought looked innocent

And now his story we will never know

 

ooh she will never know

No her father she will never know
