Stoney Larue - Heather Grows lyrics

rate me

Well your daddy's supposed to work too many bumps on the head

There's bills and there's habits, and there's mouths to be fed

Mama she quit trying about age 22 now you're just the right size

It's all getting left up to you

Chorus:

As if growing up wasn't hard enough to do

There's so much more the world is putting you through

Do you need some understanding God only knows

That Heather is a flower and Heather grows, Heather grows

I've been around your family 16 odd years

Your brothers and sisters made you wise beyond your years

Love and cucarachas is all that there's a lot of

If you ain't playing mama, then the kids aren't being thought of

(Chorus)

With the world upon your shoulders and your baby on the way

You realize the stage you're on and the parts you've got to play

Your life is not a tragedy bringing joy to every day

Love will come returning for all the love you gave away

(Chorus)
