She had enough of the hometown boys
There's a lot of talk and a lot of noise
She said, "They just don't dream big enough for me"
Came through with the rodeo
When she saw how fast his horse could go
He won more than a race that day
Her heart, her hand
And when he held her, she said
'Round here the grass is always green
So this can't be the up side of anything
Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees
Or maybe there ain't nothing here for me
But more lonely
Her cowboy ain't ever home
She sleeps in a big ol' bed alone
Drives the Cadillac but no babies in the back
He promised her with a shiny ring
She'd never want for anything
But money just ain't good company I guess
The night she left he read the note, and it said
'Round here the grass is always green
So this can't be the up side of anything
Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees
Or maybe there ain't nothing here for me
But more lonely, oh
'Round here the grass is always green
So this can't be the up side of anything
Maybe I can't see the forest for the trees
Or maybe there ain't nothing here for me
But more lonely
More lonely
She had enough of the big city boys
They're a lot of talk and a lot of noise
She said, "They just don't dream the same dreams as me"
