Greener Than The Grass (We Laid On) (Album Version)

Greener Than The Grass (We Laid On) (Album) - Tanya Tucker

He painted quite a picture for the girls in my home town

And I was no exception to the rule

Singing all them songs about the places he's been

Made a body fell just like a fool

My probably like the paper bag that once had held the wine

Thrown without no caution to the wind

He left me like the empty bottle lying' on the ground

Swearing' he'd pick me up again

I was greener than the grass we laid on

Underneath that Alabama sun

He guess I should have known

That old' highway was his home

Do do do do do do do do do

He said I was prettier than Paris in the rain

Lord I filled me full of gypsy lies

Swearing' I'd be coming back to fetch me in the Spring

Too ashamed to look me in the eye

I felt about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn

Sneaking' in her house at 3 a m

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 his home

Do do do do do do do do do do do do
