Six lanes, tail lights
Red ants marching into the night
They disappear to the left and right again
Another supper from a sack
A 99-cent heart attack
Iâ²ve got a pounding head and an achin' back
And the camels buried in the big straw stack
Iâ²m 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 rockin' chairs towards the West
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
Well, Iâ²m from a map dot
A stop sign on a black top
I caught the first bus I could hop from there
But all of this glitter is getting dark
Thereâ²s concrete growin' in the city park
I donâ²t know who my neighbors are
There's bars on the corners and bars on my heart
Iâ²m 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
Iâ²m 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
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
