Intro: G D G D G D G D G D C D7 G D C D7
G D Em C
Six lanes, taillights, red ants marching into the night
G D C D
They disappeared 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 and aching back
C D7
And the camel's buryied 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 t'wards the west
G D C
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Am D7 G
Oh, where the green grass grows
G D Em C
Where 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 D7
And there's bars on my door and bars on my heart
