Lyrics Wildflowers - Alternate Take 1986 - Dolly Parton feat. Linda Ronstadt & 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 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 growing, too close
I had no room, for growth
I wanted so much, to break out

So, I uprooted mysel,f 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

Just a wild, rambling rose
Seeking mysteries, untold
No regret, for the path, that I chose
When a flower grows wild, it can always survive
Wildflowers, don't care, where they grow

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dum
Wildflowers, don't care, where they grow
