[Intro]
G G C G G D7 G G
[Verse 1]
The Ghills were alive with wild Cflowers and GI
Was as Gwild, even D7wilder than Gthey
For at Gleast I could run, they just Cdied in the Gsun
And I reGfused to just D7wither in pGlace
[Chorus]
Just a Cwild mountain rose needing Gfreedoms to grow
So I Cran fearing not where I'd Ggo-o-D7o
When a Gflower grows wild it can Calways surGvive
WildGflowers don't D7care where they Ggrow
[Verse 2]
And the Gflowers I knew in the Cfields where I Ggrew
Were conGtent to be D7lost in the Gcrowd
They were Gcommon and close, I had Cno room for Ggrowth
And I Gwanted so D7much to branch Gout
[Chorus]
So I upCrooted myself from my Ghome ground and left
Took my Cdreams and I took to the Groa-oa-D7oad
When a Gflower grows wild it can Calways surGvive
WildGflowers don't D7care where they Ggrow
[Verse 3]
I grew Gup fast and wild and I Cnever felt Gright
In a Ggarden so D7different from Gme
I just Gnever belonged, I just Clonged to be Ggone
So the Ggarden one D7day set me Gfree
[Chorus]
I hitched a Cride with the wind and since Ghe was my friend
I just Clet him decide where we'd Ggo-o-D7o
When a Gflower grows wild it can Calways surGvive
WildGflowers don't D7care where they Ggrow
Just a Cwild rambling rose seeking Gmysteries untold
No reCgrets for the path that I Gcho-o-D7ose
When a Gflower grows wild it can Calways surGvive
WildGflowers don't D7care where they Ggrow

The story behind the song

This song uses the metaphor of a wildflower to explore themes of growth and belonging. The narrator sees themselves as a wildflower in fields "alive with wildflowers," but feels a need for freedom, not wanting to "wither in place." They leave their original setting, a "garden so different" where they "never belonged," believing that a "flower that grows wild... can always survive." It's a song about embracing one's wild nature and finding strength in adaptability.

[Intro]

G G C G G D7 G G

[Verse 1]

G C G

The hills were alive with wild flowers and I

G D7 G

Was as wild, even wilder than they

G C G

For at least I could run, they just died in the sun

G D7 G

And I refused to just wither in place

[Chorus]

C G

Just a wild mountain rose needing freedoms to grow

C G D7

So I ran fearing not where I'd go-o-o

G C G

When a flower grows wild it can always survive

G D7 G

Wildflowers don't care where they grow

[Verse 2]

G C G

And the flowers I knew in the fields where I grew

G D7 G

Were content to be lost in the crowd

G C G

They were common and close, I had no room for growth

G D7 G

And I wanted so much to branch out

[Chorus]

C G

So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left

C G D7

Took my dreams and I took to the roa-oa-oad

G C G

When a flower grows wild it can always survive

G D7 G

Wildflowers don't care where they grow

[Verse 3]

G C G

I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right

G D7 G

In a garden so different from me

G C G

I just never belonged, I just longed to be gone

G D7 G

So the garden one day set me free

[Chorus]

C G

I hitched a ride with the wind and since he was my friend

C G D7

I just let him decide where we'd go-o-o

G C G

When a flower grows wild it can always survive

G D7 G

Wildflowers don't care where they grow

C G

Just a wild rambling rose seeking mysteries untold

C G D7

No regrets for the path that I cho-o-ose

G C G

When a flower grows wild it can always survive

G D7 G

Wildflowers don't care where they grow
