Wild Prairie Rose

Prompt

Warm Midwestern folk-country, acoustic guitar, dobro, soft harmonies and a sunset-golden chorus. An anthem for the US state of Iowa, proud, warm, radio quality, clear English diction. [Vocals: female lead vocal] [Lyrics] [Verse 1] Rows of corn like a green sea rolling to the sky A red barn and a windmill where the goldfinches fly The Mississippi on one side, the Missouri on the other Iowa, you're the land that holds us all like a mother [Chorus] Wild prairie rose, you're blooming in the ditch Our liberties we prize, and we never need be rich From Des Moines to Dubuque, from the bluffs to the plains Iowa, you're the gold that stays after the rains [Verse 2] A ballfield in Dyersville where the ghosts come out to play Covered bridges in Madison County fading gray Butter cows at the State Fair and the sweet corn piled high Iowa, you're the simple truth under a wide open sky [Chorus] Wild prairie rose, you're blooming in the ditch Our liberties we prize, and we never need be rich From Des Moines to Dubuque, from the bluffs to the plains Iowa, you're the gold that stays after the rains [Bridge] Every caucus, every harvest, you decide and then you grow Iowa, you're the first to know [Chorus] Wild prairie rose, you're blooming in the ditch Our liberties we prize, and we never need be rich From Des Moines to Dubuque, from the bluffs to the plains Iowa, you're the gold that stays after the rains
