CWhen she was young they called her Wild Rose
FThe ladies in the town turned up their nose.
CThe boys all loved her heaven knows
GShe would never be tied down.
CShe said that she was getting out, tFhe first chance she had she'd take it.
CDon't know when, don't know how, bGut I know for sure that I'll make it.
AmSo on the day that she, she turned 18, sFhe bought her ticket for the GreyHound bus.
CHe looked up from his cowboy hat and said, "OGh baby, what about us?".
AmShe said, "I've got to go, I've got to bloom
Fbut in this small town, babe, there ain't no room for tChis Wild Rose".
GAnd he looked at her and said, 
[Chorus]
"Well, baCby, you can bloom no matter where you are,
Amyou don't have to live in the sky to be a star, you don't have to be a sun to shine.
