I'm a wildflower by the highway
Up against the rain
And I'm an old man, growing tired
Getting used to the pain

I'm a wildflower in a garden
Tended everyday
And 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
And I'm an old house, barely breathing
As the walls fall in

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 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 town
If I don't ever let you down
