Lyrics[]
I heard a story years ago
From my grandmama, rest her soul
About a girl who'd never grow up, never grow old
Oh she was wild, she was free
Faced the fire fearlessly
That's the spirit, that's the ghost inside of me
Baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
Out of all of them, you chose one who'll run free forever
It doesn't mean I'm lost, I just like to wander
Got that gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Got the gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh) Got the gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
I remember when twenty-five
Was forever in my mind
I wish I could go back in time
(I would if I could, but I can't)
Told myself that life flies by
We all live and we all die
Keep the sun and moon and stars, girl, in your eyes
Baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
Out of all of them, you chose one who'll run free forever
It doesn't mean I'm lost, I just like to wander
Got the gypsy blood, always chasing thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder
Got the gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh) Got the gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
All the beauty and the bad
Makes me happy, makes me sad
'Cause I know that nothing lasts forever
I'll keep running, chasin' thunder
All the beauty and the bad
Makes me happy, makes me sad
'Cause I know that nothing lasts forever
I'll keep running, chasin' thunder
Ooh
Oh
Baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
So I'm gonna keep on chasin' thunder
Chasin' thunder
I heard a story years ago
From my grandma, rest her soul
About a girl who'll never grow old (never grow old, never grow old)
Oh, she was wild, she was free
Believed in magic just like me
That's the girl I wanna be (that's the girl I wanna be)
Well baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
Out of all of them, you chose one who'll run free forever
It doesn't mean I'm lost, I just like to wander
Got the gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder, always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder, always chasin' thunder
Chasin' thunder, always chasin' thunder
Got that gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh) Got that gyspy blood, always chasin' thunder
I remember when twenty-five
Was forever in my mind
I wish I could go back in time (back in time, back in time)
Told myself that life that life flies by
We all live and we all die
Keep those stars, girl, in your eyes (keep those stars girl in your eyes)
Baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
Out of all of them, you chose one who'll run free forever
Doesn't mean I'm lost, I just like to wander
Got that gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder, always chasin' thunder
Always chasin' thunder, always chasin' thunder
Chasin' thunder, always chasin' thunder
Got that gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh) Got that gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
(Ooh) (Thunder) (Ooh ooh) (Thunder, thunder) (Ooh)
(Ooh) (Thunder) Got that gypsy blood, always chasin' thunder
All the beauty and the bad
Makes me happy, makes me sad
'Cause I know that nothing lasts forever
I'll keep runnin', chasin' thunder
(Ooh) All the beauty and the bad
Makes me happy, makes me sad
'Cause I know that nothing lasts forever
(Ooh oh oh) Baby, I'm not a rose, I'm a wildflower
But I'm gonna keep on chasin' thunder
Chasin' thunder
