Ray Price - A Different Kind Of Flower Lyrics






She came down from Boston to be closer to her mother
and try to taste a little of country life.
She was her mother's only daughter from a good school where
They taught her how to walk and talk and fold a napkin right.
I was boots and Levis born for drivin' cows and plantin'
corn and anything that sparkled caught my eye.
She was a different kind of flower, nothin' like my country clover,
but I figured I could touch her if I tried.
I only meant to touch her just one time and let her go,
but touchin' her was lovin' her and how was I to know
that she'd be the kind of flower calloused hands would never hold.
While I was reachin' for her body, she was reachin' for my soul.
She went back to Boston, my soul is all it cost me,
just to touch her, now I wish I'd never tried.
She was a different kind of flower and after havin'
known her I just can't keep country clover on my mind.

    We complain about the crap called Country music today and yet  this great song sung by the greatest voice ever has so few views, no wonder there is nothing worth listening 2 coming out these days. it"s a disgrace that this song doesn't have many more views.What's wrong with you supposed pure country fans?
