six lanes, tail lights, red ants marching into the night
dissappear 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 burried in the big straw stack

i'm gunna 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 lords 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
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
theres bars on the doors and bars on my hearts

i'm gunna 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 lords blessed
point our rockin chairs towards the west
plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
where the green grass grows

i'm gunna 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 lords blessed
point our rockin chairs towards the west
plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows(oh)
where the green grass grows
