Six lanes, taillights
Red ants marchin' into the night
They disappear to the left and right againAnother 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 stackI'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to youRaise 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 growsWell, I'm from a map dot
A stop sign on a black top
I caught the first bus I could hop from thereBut all this glitter is 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 heartBut I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to youRaise 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 growsI'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to youRaise 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
