Grass Looks Greener

There's more stars out here than most folks see
 Hanging just beyond your reach
 Miles of cotton on this open plain
 You ask me, it all looks the same
 Well, granddad's daddy settled here
 The street names make that pretty clear
 I drive through town, everybody waves
 My first name don't mean a thing
 I'm on the only highway that gets you out of town
 Any place is better than turning back or slowing down
 They tell me I'll be back one day and wonder why I leave here
 But I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
 No, I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
 Well, she was as sweet as sugar cane
 That's probably where I should be today
 But I ain't never held a thing
 As heavy as that damn old ring
 I'm on the only highway that gets you out of town
 Any place is better than turning back or slowing down
 They tell me I'll be back one day and wonder why I leave here
 But I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
 No, I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
 Well, I don't know where this road goes
 But I know where it begins
 As my life is passing by
 And the county line is closing in
 I'm on the only highway that gets you out of town
 Any place is better than turning back or slowing down
 They tell me I'll be back one day and wonder why I leave here
 But I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
 No, I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
 Ain't coming back, ain't coming back
 No, I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
