In this evocative piece, the artist reflects on the relentless pace and impersonal nature of city life, expressing a longing for a simpler, more grounded existence. The song's lyrics paint a vivid contrast between the stress and isolation of urban living and the peace, intimacy, and connection to nature that rural life offers. This desire is not just for his own benefit but also for his family's - he dreams of raising his children in an environment where they can appreciate God's blessings and grow up close to nature. The repetitive chorus underscores this deep-seated yearning for change, emphasizing his determination to make this dream a reality. Ultimately, it's a call back to our roots, symbolizing the universal human need for belonging and tranquility.
Where the Green Grass Grows
Lyrics
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
But 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 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
But 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
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
