Lyrics
She worked down at Walmart
And he worked on the farm
He brought in extra money
Serving weekends in the garden
Loving her was easy
Life was simple then
Working hard was worth it
'Cause when the day would end
It was wildflowers in a blue Mason jar
On a table in a cabin, forty acres of stars
Two young lovers in each others arms
The night song of a cricket
Keeping time with their hearts, mmmhmm
Well, they prayed again to Jesus
Kneeling on that hardwood floor
She drove him to the station
As he headed off to war
Handed him a letter
And sealed it with a kiss
Held him for the last time
Whispered, "Please remember this"
Wildflowers in a blue Mason jar
On a table in a cabin, forty acres of stars
Two young lovers in each others arms
The night song of a cricket
Keeping time with their hearts, mmmhmm
One day outside Fallujah
I found him in the sand
Lying scared and bleeding
With his rifle in his hand
He reached into his pocket
And handed me this note
Said, "Could you read this one more time for me before you go?
It always takes me home"
Wildflowers in a blue Mason jar
On a table in a cabin, forty acres of stars
Two young lovers in each others arms
The night song of a cricket
Keeping time with their hearts, mmmhmm
