I had a dream the other night
That I was talking to my son
He was asking me about life
And all the things I've done

He sad dad you've seen so many things
And the scars to show
Wasn't there an easier way
I said son here is what I know

I said

The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Found that it grows best where you take some pride
So just put down roots, keep your family
Tight
Good things come when you're living
Right
The grass ain't always greener on the other side

We talked about all his plans
He said I'm tired of running around
All the women and drinking is just wearing me down

He said dad I want the simple life
A house, some kids and a faithful wife
But all my friends keep telling me
I can get more form this life

I said

The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Found that it grows best where you take some pride
So just put down roots, keep your family
Tight
Good things come when you're living
Right
The grass ain't always greener on the other side

Losing control
His friends car went off the road
Much to fast in time for him to weave
My son said now I know why you believe

I said

The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Found that it grows best where you take some pride
So just put ut down roots, keep your family
Tight
Good things come when you're living
Right
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
It ain't always greener on the other side
