Lyrics
Verse 1
Mama said, "girl, be a rose"I tried on that pretty poseBut the thorns got in my handsAnd I never could hold that planI don't bloom in a rowI lean where the hard winds blowGot dirt on my skirt hemlineAnd I'm fine, I'm fine
Pre‑Chorus
I ain't made for a vaseI like a little dust on my faceIf the world won't let me bendI'll keep growing again
Chorus
I got that wildflower mentalityWildflower mentalityI bloom in the cracksAnd I don't look backWildflower mentalityWildflower mentalityI ain't a perfect roseI'm a dandelion on the road
Verse 2
Saw them prim and lined up neatAll those soft red velvet dreamsBut I like a field gone goldAnd a heart that won't be toldLet the garden trim and tameI was born to take the rainBlow on by if you need tightI'm the wild side, I'm the wild side
Pre‑Chorus
I ain't made for a vaseI like a little dust on my faceIf the world won't let me bendI'll keep growing again
Chorus
I got that wildflower mentalityWildflower mentalityI bloom in the cracksAnd I don't look backWildflower mentalityWildflower mentalityI ain't a perfect roseI'm a dandelion on the road
Bridge
If you pull me up, I driftIf you box me in, I splitI don't need a polished nameJust a patch of sun and rain
Final Chorus
I got that wildflower mentalityWildflower mentalityI bloom in the cracksAnd I don't look backWildflower mentalityWildflower mentalityI ain't a perfect roseI'm a dandelion on the roadWildflower mentalityWildflower mentalityFree as the wind that blowsI'm a dandelion on the road
