G          D           Em       
Six lanes, taillights, red ants 
           C
marching into the night
G                       D        
They disappeared to the left and 
      C            D
right again
G              D           
Another supper from a sack, a 
   Em               C
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


Continues after the ad
    G                        D
But I'm gonna live where the green 
grass grows
C                 D
Watch my corn pop up in rows
G              D                  
Every night be tucked in close to 
C         D
you
G                        D
Raise our kids where the good Lord's
 blessed
C                        D
Point our rocking chairs t'wards the
 west
G                          D     
Plant our dreams where the 
         C
peaceful river flows
Am            D7          G
Oh, where the green grass grows


G                 D          Em 
Where I'm from, a map dot, a 
            C
stop sign on a blacktop
G                      D         
I caught the first bus I could 
       C            D
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
