The 77s
Mean Green Season
[Verse 1]
I walked out
I didn't want it anymore
I already had one foot out the door
I was into moving
They were on the slower road

[Verse 2]
It came down
About as plain as day to see
The road signs I could recognize
Pointed right to me
I was into something
Daddy never really had, oh yeah
Made so many people
Feel so bad

[Chorus]
It was a mean
Green season
When you're on top
You've got to show no mercy
Make sure you believe
You're the reason
Everybody wants a piece of the one
Who gets it done, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah

[Verse 3]
I held out
For as far as I could run
I tried to keep my pole position
But I was into playing
A little long in the sun
I came back
But it didn't last for long
I still thought I had it going on
But I was on the outside
With no one left to call
At all
Who'd swear how nobody ever wanna see me gone

[Chorus]
It was a mean
Green season
When you're on top
You've got to show no mercy
Make sure you believe
You're the reason
Everybody wants a piece of the one
Who gets it done, yeah
It was a mean
Green season
[Outro]
I was on the outside
Now you're on the inside
Bye bye, baby
