Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She wakes up when I sleep
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
If you don't follow what I mean
I sure don't mean to be confusing
[PreChorus]
They say when she laughs, she wants to cry
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing
[Chorus]
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
Wildflower
[Verse 2]
That girl's sure got a spell on me
Yeah, her voodoo's hidden right behind her pocket
Well, if she's fire, I'm gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot, but neither wants to stop it
[PreChorus]
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover
[Chorus]
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
She's at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me, and I can't live without her
[Bridge]
"Oh, yesterday's a memory, tomorrow's accessory"
That's her favorite quote about regret
Well, she'll tell you 'bout her pedigree
With a sailor's mouth he would've left at sea, and it ain't over yet
[Bridge]
No, no, nobody knows
[Chorus]
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses, the roses
She feels at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me, and I can't live without her
But, oh, nobody knows
[Chorus]
Nobody knows
No, no, nobody knows
Nobody knows
That's right
[Outro]
She wakes up when I sleep
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
