Where The Green Grass Grows

Six lanes, tail lights

Red ants marching into the night

Disappear to the left and right again

Another supper from a sack

A 99-cent heart attack

I've got a pounding head and an achin back

And the camels buried in the big straw stack



I'm gonna live where the green grass grows

Watch my corn pop up in rows

Every night be tucked in close to you

Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed

Point our rocking chairs towards the West

And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows

Where the green grass grows



Well I'm from a map dot

A stop sign on a black top

Caught the first bus I could hop from there

But all of this glitter is getting dark

There's concrete growin in the city park

I don't know who my neighbors are

There's bars on the corners and bars on my heart



I'm gonna live where the green grass grows

Watch my corn pop up in rows

Every night be tucked in close to you

Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed

Point our rocking chairs towards the west

Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows

Where the green grass grows



I'm gonna live where the green grass grows

Watch my corn pop up in rows

Every night be tucked in close to you

Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed

Point our rocking chairs towards the west

Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows

Oh, where the green grass grows
