Tall Green Grass (Ardent Sessions)
[Spoken]
Let's see, I'll do an old one
[Verse]
There's a whole mess of trouble up on Choctaw Hill
You're 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-
Go and wash off all that make up with a garden hose
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
[Chorus]
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 says "Your dreams won't last"
Never slept in the tall green grass
A man that says "Coo-coo-cachoo"
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
[Verse]
Warm molasses midnight on a Mississippi star
I got a 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
[Chorus]
We must 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 "Your dream won't last"
Never slept in the tall green grass
A man that says "Coo-coo-cachoo"
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
[Verse]
Now leave your reservations in the cold red clay
We got the tall green grass
For the whole damn day
[Chorus]
And 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 the man that says "Your dreams won't last"
Never slept in the tall green grass
A man that said "Oooooooooh"
Did some time in the tall green grass
Did some time in the tall green grass
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
[Spoken]
A lot of love, alright
So that thing is about 4 minutes behind right?
The thing that looks like a bomb, that's my timer?
So I got 10 minutes
