    G
And I found, a flower in a field
 G
A field of cars and people rows of concrete paint and steel
   C                     G
Manhattan, is where it grew
    G
And I thought, to cut it from its stem
    G
And take it from the cracks between bricks that it lay in
    C                    G
And save it, from city strife
 C                   G
Away from the city life

Then someone, they whispered in my ear
A county girl can't be made out of anybody here
Don’t touch it, it loves you not
Don’t touch it, it loves you not

Bridge

Because blue birds, don't fly without their wings
And when we put them in a cage the world can't hear them sing
So selfish, when greed sets in
Possession, the king of sin

And people, don't ever let you down
Forever find a way to kill whatever life they've found
A heartbeat, and I want it too
Manhattan, is where she grew

Bridge

So I left, and I let the flower be
And yesterday I saw the flower on cable TV
Much prettier, than here with me
For all of, the world to see
Much prettier than here with me
