[Verse 1: Dolly Parton]
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
[Verse 2: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt; Dolly Parton]
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
[Verse 3: Emmylou Harris]
And the flowers I knew
In the fields where I grew
Were content to be lost in the crowd
They were growing too close
I had no room for growth
I wanted so much to get out
[Verse 4: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt; Emmylou Harris]
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
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
[Verse 2: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt; Dolly Parton]
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
[Verse 3: Emmylou Harris]
And the flowers I knew
In the fields where I grew
Were content to be lost in the crowd
They were growing too close
I had no room for growth
I wanted so much to get out
[Verse 4: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt; Emmylou Harris]
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
