Grass Ain't Greener

[Verse] Sun beating down mess on my mind Blistering heat snakes unwind Dad's old mower rust and grime Why's it always my time [Chorus] Grass ain't greener on this side Sweat and burn no place to hide Dreams of sunlight poised inside Wish I had wings so wide [Verse 2] Neighbors sneer lawn's overgrown Cut those blades down whine and groan Smell of gasoline feel so alone Freedom pilfered seeds I've sown [Chorus] Grass ain't greener on this side Sweat and burn no place to hide Dreams of sunlight poised inside Wish I had wings so wide [Bridge] Mother's voice rings in my head Why can't I dream she said Chores and chains dark paths tread Rather rock till I'm dead [Verse 3] Blades whir scrape and screech Sun sets wisdom in each breach Don't want to learn power's each Want a life beyond reach
