Western Wallflower

Blue eyes Blue jeans Her daddy was a man of means Like everyone in that town, she grew up smiling Heart broke Nineteen She thought of all the world she hadn't seen And was tired of waiting Follow me to the Pacific Ocean All of this time another life's been here for you Breathe in the wind coming off the water You've always been more than a wife or a daughter And you Can do what you want here Find love in the way the daylight breaks You have more than all it takes To be a quiet part of the tides that flow And take all with them as they go Hard times Hard rain Learning a new kind of pain That winter had its storms like any other Blanket holes Ripped jeans She got to wondering what it all means Thinking about her mother Sleep each night by the Pacific Ocean Do you still want this life that's been here for you Faces the wind coming off the water Cleanses herself of what her daddy taught her to do She does what she wants now Find hope in the way the music dances There are always second chances For those who hear the sea And see the day, and let them wash their cares away
