Schoolyard Boys - Wildflower Goodbye Lyrics

She drives a beat-up Chevy red as a wild rose
Hair blowing in the wind to where nobody knows
She's got a spirit like the river free and unbound
Now she's packing up her dreams leavin' this small town

Her laughter's like the sunrise bright but hard to hold
She dances in the moonlight a fire against the cold
She's takin' off tomorrow no roots to keep her still
And it breaks my heart to think she never will

Oh wildflower wildflower why'd you have to go
Leaving this old country road where wild loves grow?
Your light's fading down the highway like the stars in the sky
Oh wildflower wildflower it's a hard goodbye

She's got a ticket in her pocket headed for the coast
Chasing down the sunsets the thing she loves the most
She'd say love's a chain that never forges strong
Had to let her go now she's already gone

These fields will miss her footsteps bare against the earth
Her laughter will be echoes of all it's ever worth
She taught me how to fly then left me standin' still
Now she's off to find the world over the distant hills

Oh wildflower wildflower why'd you have to go
Leaving this old country road where wild loves grow?
Your light's fading down the highway like the stars in the sky
Oh wildflower wildflower it's a hard goodbye (Repeat)
Hard goodbye
