Paroles The grass is always greener Okee Dokee Brothers (The)

The grass is always greener

I wish I lived in the country
So I could run around
Pickin' chicken dinner
Diggin' taters from the ground
I wish I lived in the country Life would be so keen
But I'm stuck here in the city
Where the grass is not as green
I wish that it was summer
When this chilly wind don't blow
I almost can't remember a time
When there weren't 10 feet of snow
I wish that it was summer
I'd run a country mile
But the grass is always greener
If you ain't seen it for a while

I go from here to there
My pockets and my mind ain't got no sense
I never get nowhere
And I always think I'm on the wrong side of the fence

I wish I could play the guitar
That'd be a beautiful thing Imagine all the songs I'd sing If I had just one more string
I wish I could play that guitar
But this banjo's hard to lose
Cuz the bluegrass is greener
When you've got the blues
I wish I had me a house
Start puttin' down some roots
A place to hang my hat
A place to wipe my boots
I wish I had me a home
Instead of livin' on the road
But the grass is always greener
When it isn't yours to mow

I go from here to there
My pockets and my mind ain't got no sense
I never get nowhere
And I always think I'm on the wrong side of the fence
But the grass is always greener on the other side the fence
But the grass is always greener on the other side the fence
