Marfa Lights (Remix) - Kaitlin Butts

When she was young they called her wild rose The ladies in the town turned up their nose The boys all loved her, heaven knows But she would never be tied down She said that she was getting out The first chance she had she'd take it Don't know when Don't know how But I know for sure that I'll make it So on the day that she She turned 18 She bought a ticket for the Greyhound bus He looked up from his cowboy hat and said "Oh baby, what about us?" She said "I've got to go I've got to bloom But in this small town babe, there ain't no room For this Wild Rose" And he looked at her and said Well baby, you can bloom no matter where you are You don't have to live in the sky to be a star You don't have to be the sun to shine Baby, just be mine She got on the bus said "I just can't stay" She didn't look back as they pulled away But the humming of the tires couldn't drown out The words she heard him say And there beside the road she saw a Wild Rose And it bloomed out where God had planted it On an old rusty barbwire fence And all of a sudden it all made sense when he said Baby, you can bloom no matter where you are You don't have to live in the sky to be a star You don't have to be the sun to shine Baby, just be mine Well the bus pulled away with an empty seat She made a call saying "baby, come and get me" They drove all through the night and we're home To see an Oklahoma sunrise Sittin' on the porch late at night Watching their babies chasin' fireflies The little one looks up at the sky And says "I wanna be a star" And they said "baby, you can bloom No matter where you are You don't have to live in the sky to be a star"
