Watch for the postman to bring you a letter and don't you let that make you sad
You may not understand now but you will later I never meant to treat you bad
I just need (greener grass to walk on) and some higher hills to clim
A place where I can dream my dream
For with some (greener grass to walk on) and some higher hills to clim
You'd be a fool to wait for me

The walls of my mem'ry are line with many paintings of all the places I have been
You'll have a place now among the dreams and faces that I may never see again
I just need (greener grass
[ steel - strings ]
I warned you lovin' me is like walkin' down a country road
You can't tell what's around the bend
I'm like the water flowin' in an endless river I may never pass this way again
I just need (greener grass
You'd be a fool to wait for me
