Rebel Rose

She was born in a cotton town

Daddy brought her up to settle down

To make him proud through high school

Very young with a bunch of kids

Like her ma and her grandma did

After all, that's what you do

So, she packed her bags when she turned 18

Tooked the greyhound bus to follow her dreams

You can plant your seeds out in a row

There's no guarantee, reap what you sow

Somewhere hidden, have to see you

Way out in the cotton field

The solitary wild flower grows

Rebel Rose

Rosie knew that she had to see

Where the sky and the highway meet

Her little world wasn't big enough

Folks said this is gonna pass

Dreams come but they never last

Give her time, she'd adjust

Back in the rack at the bridal store

Is a wedding dress she never wore

You can plant your seeds out in a row

There's no guarantee, reap what you sow

Somewhere hidden, have to see you

Way out in the cotton field

The solitary wild flower grows

Rebel Rose

Someday her daddy's gonna see

What a baby girl's truly meant to be

You can plant your seeds out in a row

There's no guarantee, reap what you sow

Somewhere hidden, have to see you

Way out in the cotton field

The solitary wild flower grows
