The Grass is Always Greener
You might think things are better somewhere else, but you take yourself wherever you go.
Melodic music for the heart and mind...
I jis' kinda play 'round, ya know? Hope y'all likezit!
Story behind the song
The song was written when I was questioning my feelings toward my spouse. It did not end well...
Lyrics
There you go,
Gambling that you'll find your pot of gold.
You've got a picture in your mind,
Of what you think you'll find at Rainbow's End.
A treasure unlike any other,
A lover you can call your dearest friend.
I heard you say,
You'll see your lost horizon one fine day,
This paradise you're lookin' for
Doesn't seem like somehwere very near.
Some things you can't throw away,
Your problems won't just go away,
And wishes don't make troubles disappear.
(CHORUS)
The grass is always greener on the other side,
The air is cleaner, the water far more pure,
The honey tastes so sweet on the sunny side of the street,
Where dreams come true out of the blue
And sweep you off your feet.
(Repeat chorus)
Weren't we the couple other people tried to be?
It didn't quite turn out that way,
You've packed up your suitcase and you've run,
And left a picture of this pair,
Like fallen blossoms fading in the sun.
You said goodbye,
And gave a hundred reasons not to cry,
But none of them were good enough,
I've shed a million tears since you've been gone.
Some things you can't throw away,
My love won't just go away,
But I can't hold you back from movin' on,
(Chorus)
