Текст (слова) песни: David Alan Coe - Greener Than the Grass We Laid on
By David Allan Coe
I painted quite a picture for the girls in her home town And she was no exception to the rule Singing all them songs about the places I`ve been Made a body fell just like a fool She was like the paper bag that once had held the wine Thrown without no caution to the wind I left her like the empty bottle lying` on the ground Swearing` I`d pick her up again
She was greener than the grass we laid on Underneath that Alabama sun I guess she should have known That old` highway was my home Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do
I said she was prettier than Paris in the rain Lord, I filled her full of gypsy lies Swearing` I`d be coming back to fetch her in the Spring Too ashamed to look her in the eye She looked about as simple as the cotton dress I`ve torn Sneaking` in her house at 3 a.m. Her Momma liked to question me the day after and I was sure Her intuition told her where we`d been
She was greener than the grass we laid on Underneath that Alabama sun I guess she should have known That old` highway was my home She should have never listened to my songs, to my songs She should have never listened to my songs.
