  2. WHERE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS Six 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 camels standin' in a big straw stack  I'm gonna live where the green grass grows Watch my corn pop up in rows Every night be tucked in close to you Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed Point our rockin' chairs towards the west And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows Where the green grass grows  Well I'm from a map dot A stop sign on a blacktop I caught the first bus that I could hop from there But all o' this glitter is gettin' dark There's concrete growin' in the city park I don't know who my neighbors are And there's bars on the corner and bars on my heart
