1. Six lanes, tail lights, red ants marching into the
night,
G D C - D
they
disappear to the left and right again.
G - D - Em C
Another supper from a sack, a ninety-nine cent heart attack,
G D
I got a pounding head and an aching
back,
C G
Am
D
and
the camel's buried in a big straw stack.
G D
But I'm gonna live where the green grass grows,
C
D
watch my corn pop up in rows,
G D C - D
every night be tucked in close to
you.
G D
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed,
C D
point our rocking chairs towards
the west,
G D C
plant our dreams where the peaceful
river flows,
Am D G
where the green grass grows.

2. Well, I'm from, a map dot, a stop sign on a blacktop,
G D C - D
I caught the first bus I could
hop from there.
G D
But all of this glitter is
getting dark
Em C
there's
concrete growing in the city park,
G D
I don't know who my neighbors are,
C G
Am D
and
there's bars on the doors and bars on my heart.
+ CHORUS

G D
But I'm gonna live where the green grass
grows,
C D
watch my corn pop up in rows,
G D C - D
every night be tucked in close to
you.
G D
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed,
C D
point our rocking chairs towards
the west,
G
D Em - A
and plant our dreams where the
peaceful river flows,
C Am
D G
woah, where the green grass grows.
