Six lanes taillights red ants marching 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 pounding head and an aching back
And the camel's buried in a big straw stack
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watching 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
Well I'm from a map dot
A stop sign on a blacktop
I caught the first bus I could hop from there
But all of this glitter isn't getting dark
There's concrete growing in the city park
I don't know who my neighbors are
And there's bars on the corners and bars on my heart
But 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 gears where the good lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful rivers flow
Oh where the green grass grows
