Where the Green Grass Grows

Six lanes, taillights

Red ants marchin' into the night

They disappear to the left and right again

Another supper from a sack

A ninety-nine cent heart attack

I got a poundin' head and an achin' back

And the camel's buried in a 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 rockin' 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

I caught the first bus I could hop from there

But all of this glitter is a-gettin' dark

There's concrete growin' in the city park

I don't know who my neighbors are

And 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 rockin' 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 rockin' chairs towards the West

And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows

Whoa, where the green grass grows
