Sunflowers and Leather

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was born in a field of sunflowers and I didn't feel a thing Rhinestone pine straw and birds with a song to sing I grew up with love in the walls and concrete beneath my feet Why would I ever leave this place when sunflowers are all that I see? [Verse 2] Then I met a traveler, told me the world's much bigger than this And he showed me his leather jacket and the handcuffs he broke off his wrist So I snuck out the back door Said I'm never coming back But Mama stopped me from the window and she said go, but don't forget what you have [Chorus] She said, be careful with them girls Honey, it's a wild, wild world Yeah [Verse 3] So I got drunk in a school zone And I ran from the cops I thought man this is living ain't it I ain't never, I ain't never gonna stop I got high up in New York I got low in Tennessee It took bleeding on a bathroom floor to remember what my mama said to me [Chorus] She said, be careful with them girls Honey, it's a wild, wild world [Bridge] And if I'm going soon, I wanna leave something If I'm going soon, I wanna do it right And when I go, all that I'm leaving Is all my love behind [Outro] And when I die I want my life to look like blue skies and rain Sunflowers and leather is the way
