Shades Of Green

(albüm: Dirt Road Communion - 2012)

Laying in my bed, alarm going off
Get my feet on the floor, turn the TV on CNN
That stock markets down again
All about who's who, who's got what
Get your name up the ladder, get that extra buck
Yeah their american dream
It's all about the green
Over where i come from
It's a little different son.

It's the color of the tractor in my barn
A fifty acre pasture, ole' horse farm
And rows of pines as far as I can see
It ain't the money in the bank that we ain't got
Na, it's the clover growing in my deer plot
And her eyes everyday looking back at me
Yeah, that's my shades of green..

Hanging in the woods with an ole' bird dog
Us boys 'round here where'd ever fall from head to toe
Yeah, that's the way we roll
And some put it on with the gun in their hands
And wear it each day, fighting for this land
Like my daddy did. that was back in '66

It's the color of the tractor in my barn
A fifty acre pasture, ole' horse farm
And rows of pines as far as I can see
It ain't the money in the bank that we ain't got
Na, it's the clover growing in my deer plot
And her eyes every day looking back at me
Yeah, that's my shades of green..

Yeah it's all around, from big cities to small towns..

It's the color of the tractor in my barn
A fifty acre pasture, ole' horse farm
And rows of pines as far as I can see
It ain't the money in the bank that we ain't got
Na, it's the clover growing in my deer plot
And her eyes every day looking back at me
Oh it's her eyes everyday looking back at me
Yeah, that's my shades of green..
Oh yeah, thats a country boys shade of green

Laying in my bed, alarm going off
Get my feet on the floor, turn the TV on CNN
That stock market's down again..
