She lived in a trailer park with a curtain of hair Brother was a drag queen and a legionnaire And the one she called daddy had disappeared He went to find God and grow a beard Her skin was tan from the Sunday morning light She'd been waiting on a boy since '99 And he was 27 and lived on his mama's dime Wore black jeans and sunglasses all the time And the two of them had nothing in common Except they had everything in common And they would drink beer and eat cheap fries In the school parking lot every Saturday night Wild orchid Is this what you wanted? (wanted) Wild orchid Leave it all in the garden (garden) Wild orchid He won't save you (save you) Wild orchid Keep runnin away (ooh ooh) This wild little land was her jailor But she had a studio in her little trailer They were writin' songs, singin' like kids He said "I got a song called Wild Orchid" She said "Do you know what an orchid is?" He said "It's some kind of flower, isn't it?" And she said "That's what I thought" He said "It's about a girl who got caught Tryin' to find love, but she's not very good At pickin' the ones she knows she should. She's waitin' on somethin' but she doesn't know That's she's wild and free and I love her so." And she said "That's what I thought," Yeah, that's what I thought. Ah ah ah ah ah Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ah ah ah ah ah Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Wild orchid Is this what you wanted? (wanted) Wild orchid Leave it all in the garden (garden) Wild orchid He won't save you (save you) Wild orchid Keep runnin away (ooh ooh) Wild orchid Keep runnin away © 2025 misscalamity
