Hey baby whatcha doin this evenin'
Can you meet me down at the railroad tracks
I got Tom Petty playin' in my Silvarado
And I iced down a six pack

Hey Daisy don't you worry bout your momma
Like 007 we can keep it covert
Undercover on the ground by the water
Gonna get a little peace on earth

Baby whatcha say we go pickin' wildflowers
Got a spot way back in the woods
Sneak away for a couple of hours
You and me baby pickin' wildflowers

Hey baby mother nature is waiting and
Love's bloomin' like a cherry tree that's
I'll buzz around maybe do some pollinate
Yeah, dive in like honeybees

Baby whatcha say we go pickin' wildflowers
Got a spot way back in the woods
Sneak away for a couple of hours
You and me baby

Pickin' wildflowers

Take a trail ride if you know what I mean
Hey baby won't you come with me

Whatcha say we go pickin' wildflowers
Got a spot way back in the woods
Sneak away for a couple of hours
Spend a little time pickin' wildflowers

Whatcha say we go pickin' wildflowers
Got a spot way back in the woods
Sneak away for a couple of hours
You and me baby you and me baby
A pickin' wildflowers

Whatcha say we go
Whatcha say we go
Whatcha say we go
Whatcha say we go

Pickin' wildflowers, pickin' wildflowers
