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-

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

And 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

A man that says "Dreams don't last"
Never slept in the tall green grass
A man that says "Coo-coo-cachoo"
Spent some time in the tall green grass with you

Warm molasses midnight on a Mississippi star
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
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

A man that says "Dreams don'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

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
It's only green, against the blue
It's only me, against you

A the man that says "Dreams don't last"
Never slept in the tall green grass
A man that says "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
