For Jerryanne by After Jack Lyrics

I found true love and he married me
And we had a little babe, then two, then three
And we settled down with our family
And we watched the seasons change

I'm thankful for the sun and showers
To grow our food and the pretty flowers
And I pick those weeds for hours and hours
But the weeds just won’t behave

And sometimes I think I just want to let the wild take over
Like the kudzu vine, I could conquer anything
It takes a strong hand and a strong head
To wrestle with this flowerbed
It's a shame to waste a precious gift
Or to tame a wild thing

Sometimes I water handsome weeds
Just to see what they will be
I'm hoping for an apple tree
Just to get a little shade
Sometimes I think I just want to let the wild take over
Like the kudzu vine, I could conquer anything
It takes a strong hand and a strong head
To wrestle with this flowerbed
It’s a shame to waste a precious gift
Or to tame a wild thing

It's a shame to waste a precious gift
Or to tame a wild thing

It's a shame to waste a precious gift
Or to tame a wild thing
