Tabbed By Larry Mofle [email protected] 12/28/2004 Her mama cussed, she was out of film As her baby came down those stairs looking right at him His hands, they shook as he pinned on that corsage And she almost cried cause she liked this guy from the very start Shoulda been just another first, not the last A beautiful moment in two lives when they looked back, 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 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, but she'll leave Chorus
