"Wildflowers And Wine" lyrics

My mother fled from our home 'cause she had to survive
We only had second-hand, but I know that she tried
Sometimes, I'd sit at her door, hear her crying at night
She worked herself like a dog just to keep on the lights

She never would trust anyone
But he said that he'd love her better
Took what was given
And just kept on livin'
Just 'cause she'd done it forever

Mama, I know I don't say it, but I want you to know
You deserve that kind of love that I know he doesn't show
And I know you don't ask him for nothing
But damn, it is time
You deserve someone who brings you wildflowers and wine
Wildflowers and wine

She feels alive on the beach with the wind in her hair
She says she loves Pensacola, but never gets there
And all of her life, all she needed was someone to care
A shoulder to cry on and lean on, but no one was there

She never would trust anyone
But he said that he'd love her better
Took what was given
And just kept on livin'
Just 'cause she'd done it forever

Mama, I know I don't say it, but I want you to know
You deserve that kind of love that I know he doesn't show
And I know you don't ask him for nothing
But damn, it is time
You deserve someone who brings you wildflowers and wine
Wildflowers and wine

Oh
Wildflowers and wine
Oh
Wildflowers and wine
