Emmylou Harris Wildflowers Lyrics

Wildflowers Lyrics

The hills were alive with wildflowers and I was as wild even wilder than they

For at least I could run they just died in the sun and I refused to just wither
in place

Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow

So I ran fearing up where I'd go

When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where
they grow

And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew

Were content to be lost in the crowd

They were common and close I had no room for growth

And I wanted so much to branch out

So I uprooted myself from home ground and left

Took my dreams and I took to the road

When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where
they grow

[ ac.guitar ]

I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right in a garden so different from
me

I just never belonged I just longed to be gone so the garden one day set me
free

I hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend

I just let him decide where we'd go

When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where
they grow

Just a wild mountain rose seeking mist'ries untold no regret for the path that
chose

When a flower grows wild it can always survive wildflowers don't care where
they grow

Mhm hm hm mhm...

Wildflowers don't care where they grow
