Heather Grows Lyrics

Stoney Larue Heather Grows

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)
