Wildflowers Lyrics by Dolly Parton

0:10The hills were alive with wildflowers

0:15And I was as wild even wilder than they

0:20For at least I could run they just died in the sun

0:26And I refused to just wither in place.

0:30Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow

0:36So I ran fearing up where I'd go

0:41When a flower grows wild it can always survive

0:47Wildflowers don't care where they grow.

0:52And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew

0:57Were content to be lost in the crowd

1:03They were common and close, I had no room for growth

1:08And I wanted so much to branch out.

1:13So I uprooted myself from home ground and left

1:19Took my dreams and I took to the road

1:24When a flower grows wild it can always survive

1:32Wildflowers don't care where they grow.

1:35--- Instrumental ---

1:40I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right

1:46In a garden so different from me

1:51I just never belonged, I just longed to be gone

1:56So the garden one day set me free.

2:01I hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend

2:06I just let him decide where we'd go

2:12When a flower grows wild it can always survive

2:17Wildflowers don't care where they grow.

2:22Just a wild mountain rose seeking mist'ries untold

2:28No regret for the path that I chose

2:33When a flower grows wild it can always survive

2:38Wildflowers don't care where they grow.

2:44Mhm hm hm mhm...

3:22Wildflowers don't care where they grow...

3:31♪
