Grew up in this sun-baked, burnt out boondock town
In a clapboard house where the grass was brown
Couldn't wait to get away
Nothin' could make me stay
Took off at seventeen to find some green

I had my dreams
When I walked out of that door
But I never found the green that I was lookin' for

The grass is always greener
In the other side
I couldn't find the green
No matter how I tried
Seeking fortune and fame
I tried hard to make a name
I'd get up but life would knock me down
So here I am back where the grass is brown

Thank God you never left this little boondock town
You always kind of liked it that the grass was brown
I couldn't wait to get away but now I wanna stay
I was lookin' for some green but found my Queen

I still have dreams
Here she comes walkin' thru that door
Yeah, I found everything that I was lookin' for

The grass is always greener
In the other side
I couldn't find the green
No matter how I tried
Seeking fortune and fame
I tried hard to make a name
I'd get up but life would knock me down
So here I am back where the grass is brown

Yeah you were waitin' for me
While I wandered all around
Now I'm lovin' life back where the grass is brown

Yeah I'd get up but life would knock me down
Now I'm lovin' life back where the grass is brown
