Lyrics
Verse 1
Bought you roses like a gentlemanYou smiled like a getawayLeft ‘em baking on the dashboardPretty things don’t last that way
Chorus
Dead flowers on the dashThat’s your loveDead flowers on the dashDried-up luckWave goodbyeDon’t look back
Verse 2
You wanted sweet, you wanted wildCouldn’t pay ‘em both at onceI kept the thorns, you kept the rideSun did the rest by lunch
Chorus
Dead flowers on the dashThat’s your loveDead flowers on the dashDried-up luckWave goodbyeDon’t look back
Bridge
Ain’t mad, ain’t prayingJust a smell in the heatRomance in the rearviewWilting in the seat
Final Chorus
Dead flowers on the dashThat’s your loveWave goodbye
