She is Mother Maybelle Carter's "Wildwood Flower" She walks like a spirit upon the earth Lost once without a trace Now she's grateful for the grace She stands and delivers what she's worth She calls me her handsome high-plains drifter She tells me I got an old soul behind my eyes Like a fire in a thunderstorm She's a spark And I'll believe her when she tells me love never dies She says it's true: true love lasts forever And when there's no more white ponies left to ride And the earth falls away And what's matter fades to gray True love is just as strong on the other side She in broken English She tells me of a land where no one cries Where from the dust To a place where there is no rust And I know, for heaven's sake, love never dies She says it's true: true love lasts forever And when there's no more white ponies left to ride And the earth falls away And what's matter fades to gray True love is just as strong on the other side She says it's true: true love lasts forever And when there's no more white ponies left to ride And the earth falls away And what's matter fades to gray True love is just as strong on the other side True love is just as strong on the other side True love is just as strong on the other side
