Wildflowers Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

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
