So that I knew you were there for me, Time after time, you were there for me.

6. “Green Grass Grows” 6 lanes, tail lights, red ants marchin' into the night, they disappear to the left and right again. Another supper, from a sack, a 99 cent heart attack. I got a poundin' head and an achin' back, and the camel's buried in a big straw stack.

7. continued I'm gonna live where the green grass grows, watchin' my corn pop up in row's. Every night be tucked in close, to you. Raise our kids where the good lord's blessed, point our rockin' chair's towards the west, plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows, where the green grass grows.

13. “I Can See Clearly Now” I can see clearly now the rain has goneI can see all obstacles in my wayGone are the dark clouds that had me blindIt's going to be a bright, bright sunshiny dayI think I can make it now the pain has goneAnd all of the bad feelings have disappearedHere is the rainbow I've been praying forIt's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny dayLook all around there's nothing but blue skiesLook straight ahead nothing but blue skies
