There's a whole mess of trouble up on Choctaw Hill
Your sister couldn't make it, but I bet you will
Knockin' back a jelly jar of watermelon wine
I ain't never seen a place where the sun can't
We will wash off all your makeup with a garden hose
And watch the freckles sparkle down the ridge of your nose
With your lemon yellow ribbons and your bleach blonde hair
Blendin' in the sun until you're barely there
Blendin' in the sun until you're barely there
We'll be off the radar, off the map
Stretched out in the tall green grass
It's only green, against the blue
It's only me, against you
And a man that said "Dreams don't last"
Never slept in the tall green grass
A man that said "Coo-coo-cachoo"
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
♪
Warm molasses midnight on a Mississippi star
Got candy apple moon on the hood of my car
Never could've told me you'd've gone this far
I can't even tell you where the fuck we are
Must be off the radar, off the map
Stretched out in the tall green grass
It's only green, against the blue
It's only me, against you
A man that said "Dreams don't last"
Never slept in the tall green grass
A man that said "Coo-coo-cachoo"
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
♪
Now leave your reservations in the cold red clay
We got the tall green grass
For the whole damn day
We'll be off the radar, off the map
Stretched out in the tall green grass
Only green, against the blue
It's only me, against you
And a man that said "Dreams don't last"
Never slept in the tall green grass
A man that said "Ooh"
Did time in the tall green grass
Did some time in the tall green grass
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
