Mm, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I was born off an old dirt road forty acre farm
No highway, no interstate
And I drive an old rusted out Chevrolet
The boys all rubberneck while their out makin' hay

Hey, I'm a wildflower, growin' in the sunshine
Soakin' up the way of life I was raised in
Runnin' barefoot, bloomin' in a summer shower
Ponytail dancin', I can't help it, I'm a wildflower

Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah

There's a little cotton dress hangin' in my sisters closet
I think I'm gonna borrow it and wear it this weekend
Painted my toes, bought some cherry lip gloss
No rose, no daisy, touch what I got

Yeah
Hey, I'm a wildflower, growin' in the sunshine
Soakin' up the way of life I was raised in
Runnin' barefoot, bloomin' in a summer shower
Ponytail dancin', I can't help it, I'm a wildflower

Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah

I'm just a girl
Needs a little sun, a little rain
An open field to play

Hey, I'm a wildflower, growin' in the sunshine
Soakin' up the way of life I was raised in
Runnin' barefoot, bloomin' in a summer shower
Ponytail dancin', I can't help it, I'm a wildflower

Hey, I'm a wildflower, growin' in the sunshine
Soakin' up the way of life I was raised in
Runnin' barefoot, bloomin' in a summer shower
Ponytail dancin', I can't help it, I'm a wildflower

Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
I'm a wildflower
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
I'm a wildflower
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
I'm a wildflower
