Lyrics for Greener Than the Grass (We Laid On) by David Alan Coe:

I painted quite a picture for the girls in her home town
And she was
no exception to the rule
Singing all them songs about the places I've been
Made a body fell
just like a fool
She was like the paper bag that once had held the wine
Thrown without no
caution to the wind
I left her like the empty bottle lying' on the ground
Swearing' I'd pick
her up again
She was greener than the grass we laid on
Underneath that Alabama
sun
I guess she should have known
That old' highway was my home
Do-do-do-do-do-do
do-do-do
I said she was prettier than Paris in the rain
Lord, I filled her full of
gypsy lies
Swearing' I'd be coming back to fetch her in the Spring
Too ashamed to look her
in the eye
She looked about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn
Sneaking' in her house
at 3 a.m.
Her Momma liked to question me the day after and I was sure
Her intuition told her
where we'd been
She was greener than the grass we laid on
Underneath that Alabama
sun
I guess she should have known
That old' highway was my home
She should have never
listened to my songs, to my songs
She should have never listened to my songs. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
