Wildflowers Growin'

Lyrics for Wildflowers Growin'

Oh turn away young Magdalene, morning's on the rise We both know we'll turn to stone if we don't act right So put away your fiddle, your rosin, and your bow Cause nobody wants to see how wildflowers grow Bad TV and frozen food and a house we can't afford The neighbors with bad politics are lonely folks, I'm sure I want to know a weed from a chestnut tree and a friend from a foe But nobody knows the names of wildflowers anymore Peace signs in the alleyway Jesus saves in a bathroom stall The poor, drunk, the angry, they medicate and jail us all They'd roll us up and smoke us if they could make us worth owning Oh be careful who you tell that there's wildflowers growing What parts of me there may yet be when I am dead and gone A pile or two of paltry things done right and done wrong And a parking lot of forget-me-nots growing towards the road I'll be there if you care to watch some wildflowers grow Yeah I'm going back down where the weather suits my clothes Come on by and waste some time watching wildflowers grow
