Wildflowers (Alternate Take 1986) - Dolly Parton/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 to close I had no room for grow

I wanted so much to get out

I uprooted myself from my 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

Wildflowers don't care where they grow
