Flower Grown Wild

  • She was the girl in the very front row
    Always waitin' after the show
    She was the queen of the hollywood hills
    Knew the stars, the bars, the pimps and pills
    Somebody's climbin' on a greyhound tonight
    Too much lipstick and her dress real tight
    Looks like a woman but she ain't quite
    No, not quite

    She's somebody's baby
    She's somebody's mother's child
    She may look like a lady
    But she's just a flower grown wild

    They never knew you by your childhood name
    But they were drawn to you like moths to a flame
    Nobody saw the tears in your silk n' lace
    Or the scarred little kid behind your face
    Just remember when you hold her tight
    What you're holding in your arms tonight
    She's no angel, but that's alright
    Ya that's alright

    She's somebody's baby
    She's somebody's mother's child
    She may look like a lady
    But she's just a flower grown wild

    Just another little pretty thing
    Another angel with a broken wing
    Who fell to earth 'neath the hollywood hills
    Amid the stars and the bars, the pimps and pills

    Just like the girl on the movie screen
    She played it up until the very last scene
    The picture faded and the day was done
    Went home to nothin but a loaded gun

    Somebody's climbing on a greyhound tonight
    A little angel flyin' out of sight
    Looks like a woman but she ain't quite
    No, not quite Writer/s: Bryan Guy Adams, Michael Arnold Kamen, Robert John Lange
