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 common and close, I had no room for growth I wanted so much to branch out
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
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

thank you everyone....
i have spring fever big time
and i love this song...
i'm aching for a road trip
but with prices of gasoline
I'll be happy on my nice, sweet
long bicycle road trip today
and a chance to work out the kinks
and lose a few pounds of winter weight

little granny flat on your land ???

i would love to spend the rest of my life in tranquility and in the middle of the orchards & nature
