Lainey Wilson’s “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” Lyrics

In the middle of the nightI hear a cornfield coyote cryUp at the moon, no matter whatSky, I’m layin’ under

In the eye of a hurricaneWhen I got one foot in the graveI’ll dig my boots into the dirtAnd face the rollin’ thunder

I’m five generations of blazin’ a trailThrough barb-wired valleys and overgrown dellsI’m barefoot and bareback and born tough as nailsWhoa, whoa, whoa

I’m four-fifths of reckless and one-fifth of jackI push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracksYeah, my kinda crazy’s still runnin’ its courses withWildflowers and wild horses

It’s in the water, in my veinsThat bread of Heaven falls like rainSo I’m taken care of either wayMake somethin’ outta how I’m madeUntil I hitch a ride on Glory’s train

I’m five generations of blazin’ a trailThrough barb-wired valleys and overgrown dellsI’m barefoot and bareback and born tough as nailsWhoa, whoa, whoa

I’m four-fifths of reckless and one-fifth of jackI push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracksYeah, my kinda crazy’s still runnin’ its courses withWildflowers and wild horses

I’m five generations of blazin’ a trailThrough barb-wired valleys and overgrown dellsI’m barefoot and bareback and born tough as nailsWhoa, whoa, whoa

I’m four-fifths of reckless and one-fifth of jackI push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracksYeah, my kinda crazy’s still runnin’ its courses withWildflowers and wild horses

Yeah, my kinda crazy’s still runnin’ its courses withWildflowers and wild horsesWildflowers and wild horses
