I had never even been outside the county line

Unless you count the million times I left inside my mind

In my day dreams I could see

The way the luck would shine on me

When I finally found the wings to fly

As my mama helped me pack my suitcase

She said you know I love you and I'll say it once more anyway



So you'll know what to do if your greener grass turns blue

If your sunny sky turns gray

Sometimes you gotta run

To see just what you're running from

Here at home there'll always be place for you

If your greener grass turns blue



I had tears in my eyes and a ticket in my hand

To give to the man at the station

I was so afraid that mama would say

Something to make me want to stay

But all she did was look at me and smile

She said I believe that you can make your dreams come true

But most of all I believe in you



So you'll know what to do if your greener grass turns blue

If your sunny sky turns gray

Sometimes you gotta run

To see just what you're running from

Here at home there'll always be place for you

If your greener grass turns blue



Sometimes you gotta run

To see just what you're running from

Here at home there'll always be place for you

If your greener grass turns blue

If your greener grass turns blue
