Down Where the Wildflowers Grow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wasn't looking for a thing that day, Just dirt roads and the sun's warm rays. Down at the farm where the wildflowers grow, I bumped into somethin' I didn't know I'd know. That crooked smile, those eyes so true, Blue as the morning, and I was through. [Chorus] You took this stubborn independent woman And turned her into your forever princess. Oh, Russell, you were worth the chance, A slow country song, a first sweet dance. Two hearts that had been hurt before, Found healin' when we opened the door. [Verse 2] You never pretend, you don't need to try, A truly good man with an honest eye. Your humor, your heart, that manly way, Made me braver with every day. And when you pull me close in your sleep, I feel a love that's mine to keep. [Chorus] You took this stubborn independent woman And turned her into your forever princess. Oh, Russell, you were worth the chance, A slow country song, a first sweet dance. Two hearts that had been hurt before, Found healin' when we opened the door. [Bridge] One year down this dusty golden road, You carried half of every load. We took a chance, we both broke through — Now every new beginning's me and you. [Verse 3] So here's to us and all we've grown, The safest place I've ever known. Russell, my love, my steady ground, The best thing that I never found. I'll thank the stars, I'll thank that farm, For leadin' me into your arms. [Chorus] You took this stubborn independent woman And turned her into your forever princess. Oh, Russell, you were worth the chance, Forever now, our first sweet dance. [Outro] Just dirt roads and a love so true, Every road I walk leads back to you.
