I'm a wildflower by the highway Up against the rain I'm an old man growing tired Getting used to the pain I'm a wildflower in a garden Tended everyday I'm an old dog, hard to love and Even harder to change But it's no time to be slowing down It's no time to be turning round You could blow a hole right through this town If I don't ever let you down I'm a wildflower by the streetlight Where the night begins I'm an old house barely breathing As the walls fall in And it's no time to be slowing down It's no time to be turning round You could blow a hole right through this town If I don't ever let you down I'm a wildflower and I'm an old man There's so much in between And it's no time to be standing by It's no time to be asking why You could blow a hole right through this sky If I don't ever let you down
