The Grass Is Always Greener - The Okee Dokee Brothers

Yeah I wish I lived in the country

So I could run around

Pickin' chicken dinner

Diggin' taters from the ground

I wish I lived in the country

Life would be so keen

But I'm stuck here in the city

Where the grass is not as green

I wish that it was summer

When this chilly wind don't blow

I almost can't remember a time

When there weren't 10 feet of snow

I wish that it was summer

I'd run a country mile

But the grass is always greener

If you ain't seen it for a while

I go from here to there

My pockets and my mind ain't got no sense

I never get nowhere

And I always think I'm on the wrong side of the fence

I wish I could play the guitar

That'd be a beautiful thing

Imagine all the songs I'd sing

If I had just one more string

I wish I could play that guitar

But this banjo's hard to lose

'Cuz the bluegrass is greener

When you've got the blues

I wish I had me a house

Start puttin' down some roots

A place to hang my hat

A place to wipe my boots

I wish I had me a home

Instead of livin' on the road

But the grass is always greener

When it isn't yours to mow

I go from here to there

My pockets and my mind ain't got no sense

I never get nowhere

And I always think I'm on the wrong side of the fence

But the grass is always greener on the other side the fence

But the grass is always greener on the other side the fence
