Wildflowers
Dolly Parton
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 Not 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
I Wanted So Much to Branch Out
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
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
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
Repeat Chorus
