Six lanes tail lights Red ants marchin' 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 poundin' head and an achin' back And the camels buried in a big straw stack 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 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 blacktop I caught the first bus, I could hop from there But all o' this glitter is gettin' dark There's concrete glowin' 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 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 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 rockin' chairs towards the west And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows Whoa where the green grass grows
