Tony Rich Project – Grass Is Green lyrics

Said I'll be down in the city, walking around
Looking for someone to be my victim, to lay my troubles on
Maybe a leader, someone that will teach me
The ways of the road, the way to survive this hellhole
When the grass is green

When the grass is green, i'll be swimming in a zone
I just can't be alone, cause I'm afraid of me
And ain't nobody here when I'm going through
I can't trust what i'll do to me, cause I have lonely dreams
When your grass is green

Down on the river contemplating, maybe suicide
Or maybe i'll take somebody elses life
I didn't touch your purse for fun, I had a gun
I needed the funds
So don't you condemn me, if you done know me
Cause I'll be fiendin when your grass is green

When the grass is green, i'll be swimming in a zone
I just can't be alone, cause I'm afraid of me
And ain't nobody here when I'm going through
I can't trust what i'll do to me, cause I have lonely dreams
When your grass is green

Said I'll be down in the gutter, lookin for food
Lookin for mental satisfaction and physical reaction
Cause ain't no fairy in these tales
It's bout takin what you want
And makin bail
And hopin your momma loves you still
Cause this grass ain't nothin but a mirror

(2x)
When the grass is green, i'll be swimming in a zone
I just can't be alone, cause I'm afraid of me
Well, well, well
And ain't nobody here when I'm going through
I can't trust what i'll do to me, cause I have lonely dreams
When your grass is green
