Jamey Johnson - Mowin' Down The Roses Lyrics

So the person I am dating was a Marine and served with Jamey. My boyfriend was griping about his ex and Jamey wrote this song. I love it!

I remeber when i mowed down my moms flowers but boy we know that turned out good

Lyrics

Down in Mississippi
It's a perfect time of year
To break out the jumper cables
And try to crank this ol' John Deere
I can't wait to fire it up
And put er' into gear
I know I should be hurtin'
But I'm smiling ear to ear

Chorus
Cuz I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
I'm mowin down the roses
That you planted in our yard

I poured out your purty perfume
Straight down the toilet bowl
And I ripped your face straight off the wall
Left nothing but some holes
I loaded up your closets
Into fifteen garbage bags
And I smoked’em with your potpourri
On a burn pile in the back

Chorus

Down in Mississippi
Its getting perfectly clear
That anything you used to love
Just aint gonna grow round here

I’m mowing down the roses
That you planted in our yard

that isn't a john deere !!!!!!

fun fact: any john deere lawn mowers you own that you did not buy from a john deere dealer is an MTD. also i live in the hometown of JD :)

I got my JD 445 from a John Deere dealer and it's been run hard and almost never missed a beat.

I look a lot like this guy OMG and I'd drive my John deere all over too lust like him :)

My numbef one go to don t no why not more recognized down to earth southern rock blues with down home lyrics

He looks like the lead singer from Chevelle

Love Jamey Johnson! 💋💋💋💋💋

all us guys been there ....

Fantastic!!

WTF?? It's Not A John Deere as He Claims at 1:08 I came here from Pandora to see this John Deere and its a "Scotts", then the 2 dudes on a lawnmower? Oh My... Good song, kill the video Jamey SMH...

He probably went to jail for Domestic violence and Criminal Damage to Property...

They sell Bigger Shirts at Walmart Son 👕

JAMEY JOHNSON needs to cover Pink Floyd's "Mother" .. How awesome his voice would make the song!

kinda like broke back mountain... lol

holy shit

This Mississippi boy loves your music and stand for the second! 3%

No he is like most men, didn't think until the roses were cut.. lol

they could have at least used a john deere mower...

and that aint a JOHN DEER

You city folks must not understand country. The reason he's riding a Scotts mower instead of a John Deere, but using John Deere in the song is that regular folks own Scotts mowers not the expensive John Deere. But call all mowers John Deeres.

Got tickets for his show at Choctaw casino Durant ok this year... Opening act is flippin Cody Jinks baby!!!

I visited that casino during my 10-hour break when on my way to Houston to deliver a load...great place for a show! Years ago I lived in Durant and used to buy beer in milk jugs and drove around running over armadillos. They would get into the chicken coops and kill the chickens so running them over wasn't a bad thing in my mind ;) "I'm Mowin' Down The Armadillos"

such a weird video

Not the roses.

I really like this song is can relate to it from Jamey Hamlin

he's a serious bad ass!! Love Jamey!!

Those look more like daylilies than roses

Break out the lube! That's the gayest video I've ever seen! Great song and great artist. It's a shame

great shit here. seen him a month ago with willie. Sucked that he sang mostley hagard tunes :( I understood it, it was still good tho.

the fucking best!

Damn find some more shit!!!,throw it out there while your at it!!we all feal like that at some point,

LMAO, A MAN!!! A man of country and grit, that take no shit.

smell tha roses!

jamey is cool in my book and i grew up on hank jr , willie , waylon , johnny cash my daddy always had conway twitty n goerge jones so im old school country n western it was called back then but i guess all u hard core country fans know this anyway i like jamey he's an outlaw

Airplane mode on the Roses one of the greatest songs ever recorded I love this song and say sad song that's a great song so you want to help me find it Mowin Down The Roses is a famous song but it's not the song of the century I think the song lead me home by Jamey Johnson LeBron the greatest I love you Jamey Johnson Jamey Johnson you are entitled all singers I want to be just like you when they Jamey Johnson you are the best singers ever had can they be better and Johnny Cash

I know i should be hurten but I'm smiling ear to ear

love it!

jamey must shit talent he has so much

True that!

+Dean Young If you listen to his songs in order from oldest to newest it tells everything that he has been though with his career and his life.

+Dean Young When he wakes up in the morning he shits excellence.

@nashvilletn79 there u go 

+Dean Young When he wakes up in the morning he pisses excellence

Weirdest music video ive watched

Awesome song

Still one of my favorite songs, don't care much for the video though. This dude's way to clean cut.

Yeah, didn't envision a riding lawn mower in this song...I wanted an old school steel wheel Deere bush-hogging those roses down.

Oakydokes totally right. Need a bad ass

Dumb city folks don't understand country.  The reason he's riding a Scotts mower instead of a John Deere, but using John Deere in the song is that regular folks own Scotts mowers not the expensive John Deere.  But call all mowers John Deeres.

Kinda like Kleenex

@ste cra Growing up, we had some chinese off brand POS.. Old man moved to a 74' John Deere instead of a brand new foreign piece of shit.. lol

Actually some of the Scott's mowers were built by jd

this dumb city boy knows that scotts is made by John Deere. Taking it you didn't know that but city folk know forgiveness and understanding and won't judge ya for it ;)

102 qweers watched this

@Poeticexpressnz your the one with a dick for a head

So the video: he's mad at his old lady, he mows down her roses, then goes on a date with the landscaper. After the landscaper has to go, he picks up another dude at the bar and they spend a night running out of gas on the ole mower.

The next morning, his mind foggy from the night before, regret sets in, and he carries what's left of the roses inside, presumably to reclaim some modicum of heterosexuality.

That sound about right? 

Lmao best comment ever

And what's wrong with that anyways

HhelllzzBbellzz Better than a quicky off CL

Instant May/December bromance, dude. Come on!! LMFAO.......

Not even close LOL

Sounds like something I would do I mowed down the garden corn stalks and all with a snapper It took an hour another another six pack

I didn't know JD was Scotts?

"I sting " says red wasp
So nobody went to the governors porch @Office of the Governor of Texas

Sorry you were bothered Whiskey Joe.  This guy could read me the dictionary all night long.   Please..  Just sayin'.

wow a scotts lawn tractor but in the song he sead a jd that does not look or run like a dear hahhahah 

Scotts is made by the deer

You city folks don't understand country. The reason he's riding a Scotts mower instead of a John Deere, but using John Deere in the song is that regular folks own Scotts mowers not the expensive John Deere. But call all mowers John Deeres.

sooo... why didnt they choose to cast someone that owned a John Deere instead of a Scotts lawn tractor?  its not like they're hard to find,

and for some reason that bothers me less than the fact that there's no women in this video

Scotts tractors were made by john deere

You city folks must not understand country. The reason he's riding a Scotts mower instead of a John Deere, but using John Deere in the song is that regular folks own Scotts mowers not the expensive John Deere. But call all mowers John Deeres.

The pressure is fairly hard I guess us the word

With a distance from first nane to last

Her manuscript if garland style

Yes I could quote many duclosyre and further give you year -season where I was doing her hair

I think you may be who she's fucking but it is so many

If it's you you had better know I never saw any fucking family the bitcg proclained to have

If there is a Judy Bradley shed better say I for thus curse child of kings is checking the fuck out of hell

She thinks her lies and priveldges will shelter her from deception
That none would lie to felon

She is finally proud of her success that I am as a begged lord

You found her -Olin-good -that is my baby -

What do you figure this song is about ?@reap hoe "

2 dudes on a mower, the ambiguously gay duo. WTF?

Lol too funny

That's a ridiculous waste of tax payer money @rick Perry /and where the hell are you hiding our rainy day fund dammiT" look at all the things that government took dammiT who the hell do you thinketh you are !"@kxan/iTunes/tine in/austin policedepartment/[email protected]/ladies damned conference now with that nut case !

im mowen those damn rose weeds down as soon as i can geut my mower started

This is my brother who was murdered the same year. Don't know how, but I found his random comment. Fuckin A Brother!

i should have mowed them down years ago

Love this damn song, the vid makes it even better.

I know eh, This guy driving the tractor looks exactly like me !! and the Tractor stuff is all me too

I drive my lawn mower whenever I have no ride

Awesome

This is one of the dumbest songs I've ever heard, but I liked the video for some reason.  Did he mow down his neighbor's roses instead of his wife's? lolol.  "Hey, sorry about that, I'll make it up to ya by taking ya to the bar on my lawn mower."

It's about breakup, she's gone, so out goes her flowers

Your too dumb to understand!

Think hes the gardener.

me and my brother

the masses have been anal raped to the prowess of this song

After 51 years of marriage, my Mother left my Dad...and my Dad made this song a reality! Coincidentally my Dad is a Johnson boy, too! ;)
