Lyrics

Young man - years ago, dreaming of the great unknown
Bus ticket and the holy book, was all he had when he took off
We saw it in his eyes, he was aiming pretty high

Settled down in city lights, worked by the hour at a building site
Ten years and an aching back, a single bed was all he got
Watch him going down, never came to live uptown

He missed the green grass and the country girls and fishing in the lake in the pouring rain
Dusty roads and greasy hair. Mommy bring him home again
Green grass and country girls, fishing in the lake in the pouring rain
Dusty roads and greasy hair. Mommy bring him home again

He crossed the line to no way back, when stabbed his friend for cocaine crack
A free ride to last goodbye, hi didn't care - he didn't cry
Fire burning in his head, twinkling stars then he was dead

He missed the green grass and the country girls and fishing in the lake in the pouring rain
Dusty roads and greasy hair. Mommy bring him home again
Green grass and country girls, fishing in the lake in the pouring rain
Dusty roads and greasy hair. Mommy bring him home again
