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
