My mother fled from our home 'cause she had to survive We only had second-hand, but I know that she tried Sometimes, I'd sit at her door, hear cryin' at night She worked herself like a dog just to keep on a lights She never would trust anyone But he said that he'd love her better Took what was given And just kept on livin' Just 'cause she'd done it forever Mama, I know I don't say it, but I want you to know You deserve that kind of love that I know he doesn't show And I know you don't ask him for nothin' But damn, it is time You deserve someone who brings you wildflowers and wine Wildflowers and wine She feels alive on the beach with the wind in her hair She said she loves Pensacola, but never gets there And all of her life, all she needed was someone to care, oh A shoulder to cry on and lean on, but no one was there She never would trust anyone But he said that he'd love her better Took what was given And just kept on livin' Just 'cause she'd done it forever Mama, I know I don't say it, but I want you to know, oh You deserve that kind of love that I know he doesn't show And I know you don't ask him for nothin' But damn, it is time You deserve someone who brings you wildflowers and wine Wildflowers and wine Oh-oh Wildflowers and wine Oh-oh Wildflowers and wine
