Wildflowers

Down in the wildflowers
I was there
Drinking all the wine
And dreaming of your hair
Sally says "hey won't ya come inside"
"Being out here's the only way i'll survive"

Yeah down in the wildflowers
I was there
Drinking all the wine
And dreaming of your hair
Sally says "hey won't ya come inside"
"But being out here's the only way i'll survive"

Your mom married young
And you did the same
Too much loneliness'll drive you insane
Your papa walked out when you was 13
Life can make you sweet
Or life can make ya mean

But it ain't really life
That does it to you
It's the way you respond
And the things that ya do
Down in the wildflowers
I was there
Drinking all the wine
And dreaming of your hair

Down in the wildflowers
I was there
Drinking all the wine
And dreaming of your hair
Sally turn the music up
And i'll sing all night
I know about what's wrong
You know about what's right
But we never really could get on the same page
And you moved to Houston on that midnight train
I got a job and started to work
Thought about life till it started to hurt

But it ain't really life
That does it to you
It's the way you respond
And the things that ya do
Down in the wildflowers
I was there
Drinking all the wine
And dreaming of your hair

When i get drunk i close my eyes
And dream that i've died
When you disappeared on me
It ain't hard to see
There's a scar where you used to be

Down in the wildflowers i was there
Drinking all the wine and dreaming of your hair
Sally's so pretty
It soothes my soul
But every sunset
Just makes me wanna go
Down to Houston where i think you are
Fading away and burring in my heart
If i ever see you i'd sing ya this song
All about our lives and how they went wrong

But it ain't really life
That does it to you
It's the way you respond
And the things that ya do
Down in the wildflowers
I was there
Drinking all the wine
And dreaming of your hair

Yeah down in the wildflowers
I was there
Drinking all the wine
And dreaming of your hair
