Lyrics
'Grass Is Greener'
You say you wanna come home
The grass ain't green no more
The fire on the hill's burned down
And there ain't no heat
N' somebody stole your soul
An' sent you off to war
The village boys ain't waitin'
On the old bench seat
What's a man to do
When a man can't cry
If he only knew...
There's already tears in his eyes
You been hidin' your hurts
Like tattoos on your chest
But no one really gets so close to see
You're walkin' out on folks
Who only tried their best
Can't you even show some love to me?
There's a boy I know
And someone mean n' hard
N' he don't really care for anyone
He's out there in the storm
Just tearin' life apart
N' he won't come back
Til his home is gone...
