Wildflowers and Wild Horses
Lainey Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wild horses
In the middle of the night
I hear a corn field coyote cry
Up at the moon no matter what
Sky I'm laying under
In the eye of a hurricane
I'll dig my boots into the dirt
And face the rolling thunder
I'm five generations of blazing a trail
Through barbed wire valleys and overgrown dells
I'm barefoot and bareback and born tough as nails
Whoa
I'm four fifths of reckless and one fifth of jack
I push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracks
Yeah, my kinda crazy's still running its courses
With wildflowers and wild horses
It's in the water in my veins
That bread of heaven falls like rain
So I'm taken care of either way
Make something out of how I'm made
Until I hitch a ride on glory's train
I'm five generations of blazing a trail
Through barbed wire valleys and overgrown dells
I'm barefoot and bareback and born tough as nails
Whoa
I'm four fifths of reckless and one fifth of jack
I push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracks
Yeah, my kinda crazy's still running its courses
With wildflowers and wild horses
I'm five generations of blazing a trail
Through barbed wire valleys and overgrown dells
I'm barefoot and bareback and born tough as nails
Whoa
I'm four fifths of reckless and one fifth of jack
I push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracks
Yeah, my kinda crazy's still running its courses
With wildflowers and wild horses
Yeah, my kinda crazy's still running its courses
With wildflowers and wild horses

Im 60! You have brought me so much joy in your music and style. Raised country. Still Country. Bell Bottoms and all! Before most knew your name, my son sent this video in family group and I quote! “If Mom was a country music star, she would sound and look just like this!” Country and Bell Bottom Kool!
Im a volunteer at RODEO HOUSTON! I took off to enjoy your concert. Cried through the entire show. Emotional like an Elvis Concert! True originality moves people!
I went back to school last year to be a holistic practitioner. Been in a funk and brain stuck for two months. You said something that moved my soul at 60! I came back to RV and finished my semester making 100 on all tests. THANK YOU FOR BEING REAL! This world needs MORE “LADIES” like you!
Stay real and stay true! A big old fan!!! 🥰
