Lyrics
[verse]
I'm stuck here in a high-rise made of glass
Watching all the taxis rushing past
But my mind keeps drifting to a gravel road
Where the porch light led me home
Granddad's tractor rusting in the yard
Nothing in this city hits that hard
[chorus]
I want to go where the green grass grows
Where the crickets sing and the slow wind blows
Where the front porch swing still creaks the same
Where everybody still remembers my name
I want to go where the green grass grows
Take me back to the place my heart still knows
[verse]
Traded fields for fluorescent light
Traded stars for a skyline at night
But something in me never left that ground
Still hear the tractor's engine sound
Someday soon I'll pack the car and drive
Back to the only place I feel alive
[chorus]
I want to go where the green grass grows
Where the crickets sing and the slow wind blows
Where the front porch swing still creaks the same
Where everybody still remembers my name
I want to go where the green grass grows
Take me back to the place my heart still knows
[bridge]
City lights are pretty but they don't shine
Like the fireflies down that gravel line
I'll trade it all, the noise, the chrome
Just to feel that dirt road under me, back home
[chorus]
I want to go where the green grass grows
Where the crickets sing and the slow wind blows
Where the front porch swing still creaks the same
Where everybody still remembers my name
I want to go where the green grass grows
Take me back to the place my heart still knows
