lyrics

Well I thought I'd favor freedom
Til my baby up and left
Now I ain't got no future
'Cause I can't see past myself
And I got no one now to hear me out or see me through
The grass is always greener
But mine's always blue

So I thought I'd need the trees for a while
The water and the stars
Had it up to here with makeup models
Traffic lights and bars
Now I'm in the middle of nowhere
Wanting women, wine, or you
The grass is always greener
But mine's always blue

Mama called it misperception
Papa said I's colorblind
I was just as certain as mistaken the entire time
Saw something that felt right
But could not see it through
Well I know my time's a-coming
But it's long overdue

As curiosity and questions in my gut did grind
Investigation yielded answers honest and unkind
I was sick of speculation
Til I found out what was true
The grass is always greener
And mine's always blue

Now I'm on the move and the world whistles by my windshield
I turned my mind's eye to the sky and asked as I kneeled
Deliver me to somewhere between anchored and unglued
'Cause the grass is always greener
But mine's always blue
