Well, the sun came up when you came home
Now the green grass grows all around
Every little bird is singin' this song
And the green grass grows all around

Everyday you've been away
Been a lifetime way to long
I don't think the sun has shined one day
Lord, since you've been gone

When you left I felt my happiness
Go away just like the wind
But way down inside
'Cause you're in my arms again

Well, the sun came up when you came home
Now the green grass grows all around
Every little bird is singin' this song
And the green grass grows all around

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I've been makin' paper airplanes
Throwin' darts against the wall
Afraid to go outside and fetch
The mail 'cause you might call

The lesson I learned from cheatin' on you
Has more than been enough
You see those clouds started rainin' again
Is there gonna be a rainbow?

Well, the sun came up when you came home
Now the green grass grows all around
Every little bird is singin' this song
And the green grass grows all around

Yes, the green grass grows around
