Lyrics
(Verse 1) Sunrise peekin' over the ridge, another town in my rearview Got a rebel heart and a beat-up fridge, ain't nothin' here feelin' true Found a little somethin' shiny and new, like a firefly in the night But the flame burnt out, and what's a girl to do, but keep on movin' towards the light? (Chorus) I'm a wildflower on the run, bloom where I'm planted, then I'm gone Caught and lost, beneath the sun, another verse in my rambling song Yeah, I'm a wildflower on the run, ain't lookin' back at where I've been Just a little bit of freedom, 'til I find it again (Verse 2) He had eyes like a summer sky, a smile that could melt the snow Promised me forever, 'til the day I die, but promises are seeds that don't always grow We danced in the dust, laughed in the rain, built a castle on a fragile dream Now the wind's a-howlin' his name in vain, and I'm chasin' after a different gleam (Chorus) I'm a wildflower on the run, bloom where I'm planted, then I'm gone Caught and lost, beneath the sun, another verse in my rambling song Yeah, I'm a wildflower on the run, ain't lookin' back at where I've been Just a little bit of freedom, 'til I find it again (Bridge) Some folks say I'm reckless, some folks say I'm free Maybe I'm a little of both, just tryin' to be me Got my guitar and my worn-out boots, and a story yet to unfold Across these dusty highways and forgotten routes, chasing dreams of silver and gold. (Chorus) I'm a wildflower on the run, bloom where I'm planted, then I'm gone Caught and lost, beneath the sun, another verse in my rambling song Yeah, I'm a wildflower on the run, ain't lookin' back at where I've been Just a little bit of freedom, 'til I find it again (Outro) Wildflower on the run, yeah, wildflower on the run. Just keep on rollin' 'til my time is done.
