Текст песни
There's more stars out here than most folks see
Hanging just beyond your reach
Miles of cotton on this open plain
You ask me, it all looks the same
Well, granddad's daddy settled here
The street names make that pretty clear
I drive through town, everybody waves
My first name don't mean a thing
I'm on the only highway that gets you out of town
Any place is better than turning back or slowing down
They tell me I'll be back one day and wonder why I leave here
But I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
No, I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
Well, she was as sweet as sugar cane
That's probably where I should be today
But I ain't never held a thing
As heavy as that damn old ring
I'm on the only highway that gets you out of town
Any place is better than turning back or slowing down
They tell me I'll be back one day and wonder why I leave here
But I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
No, I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
Well, I don't know where this road goes
But I know where it begins
As my life is passing by
And the county line is closing in
I'm on the only highway that gets you out of town
Any place is better than turning back or slowing down
They tell me I'll be back one day and wonder why I leave here
But I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
No, I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
Ain't coming back, ain't coming back
No, I ain't coming back 'til the grass looks greener
