Six Lanes, tail lights

Red ants marching into the night

They disappear to the left and right again



Another supper from the sack

A ninety-nine cent heart attack

I've got a pounding head and an achin' back

My Camels buried in a big straw stack



I'm gonna live where the green grass grows

Watch my corn pop up in rows

Everynight be tucked in close to you

Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed

Point our rocking chairs towards the west

And plan 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 that I could hop from there

But all of this glitter is getting dark

There's concrete growing in the city park

I don't know who my neighbors are

And there's bars on the corner and bars on my heart



I'm gonna live where the green grass grows

Watch my corn pop up in rows

Everynight be tucked in close to you

Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed

Point our rocking chairs towards the west

And plan our dreams where the peaceful river flows

Where the green grass grows
