Tim McGraw – Where the Green Grass Grows Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Six lanes, taillights
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 camel’s buried in a big straw stack
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Well I’m 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 a-gettin’ dark
There’s concrete growin’ in the city park
I don’t know who my neighbors are
And there’s bars on the corners and bars on my heart
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I’m gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin’ 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
