Green Enough

Rusted out chain link running round the edges

Turns into gravel where it hits the road

There's a perfect circle brown patch

Right there in the middle where the kiddie pool sat all summer long

I used to dream about a pretty picket fence

Round an emerald stretch

Like the one next door

But these days I'm happy

Sitting on my own front porch

Cause when I

Stopped looking over fences

That's when I

Finally came to my senses

The sun's still shining down on my little piece of ground

Even if it's rocks and dust

My grass is green enough

Couple burned out buds in a porch swing ashtray

Couple bud lights from the night before

Yeah, it might not look too pretty from the street

But I always got a bud knocking on my front door

I used to dream about a pretty picket fence

Round an emerald stretch

Like the ones on TV

But these days I'm happy

With my little slice of heaven on the end of 14th

Cause when I

Stopped looking over fences

That's when I

Finally came to my senses

The sun's still shining down on my little piece of ground

Even if it's rocks and dust

My grass is green enough

It might not be the blue ribbon winner, I know it

But I won't waste another blue sky keeping up with them Joneses

Cause when I

Stopped looking over fences

That's when I

Finally came to my senses

Cause when I

Stopped looking over fences

That's when I

Finally came to my senses

The sun's still shining down on my little piece of ground

Even if it's rocks and dust

My grass is green enough

Oh, my grass is green enough

Yeah, it's green enough
