Pick the Wildwood Flower Full Lyrics
[00:02.64] Them Texas fields were hot
[00:08.74] And that tractor never was my kind of living
[00:13.92] And when I hit sixteen
[00:16.08] I had my size and I hit the road to freedom
[00:21.18] And I'm glad I wasn't there
[00:23.60] To see my momma cause she must've cried for hours
[00:31.14] I still hear her saying Gary
[00:34.40] Get your guitar and pick The Wildwood Flower
[00:42.07] Now Dallas it was big
[00:46.96] And hard to find a job and so I didn't
[00:49.67] It was easier to hitch a ride to Houston
[00:54.37] And it was more like living
[00:57.23] Now I've been down every road
[01:00.30] And I've stood on every porch where they were giving
[01:06.74] And if they had an hour or a dime
[01:11.00] I would pick The Wildwood Flower
[01:17.62] It's hard to turn around
[01:21.13] And look back down the roads that I have travelled
[01:25.24] Cause like a neverending ball of twine
[01:28.34] My dreams have come unravelled
[01:32.41] And now as evening lays its shawl
[01:37.46] Across the shoulders of my life I have defined
[01:42.38] I couldn't tie my life together
[01:45.46] With the guitar strings and a poet's heart full of pride
[01:52.69] And I'm so glad I wasn't there
[01:55.07] To see my momma cause she must've cried for hours
[02:02.55] I still hear her saying Gary
[02:05.58] Get your guitar and pick The Wildwood Flower
[02:14.04]
