Well well well well well well

Said I be down in the city

Walkin' around lookin' for someone

To be my victim to lay my troubles on

Maybe a leader someone that'll teach me

The ways of the road

The way to survive this hellhole

When the grass is green

When the grass is green

I'll be swimmin' in a zone

I just dread to be alone

'Cause I'm afraid of me

Well well well

And ain't nobody here when I'm goin' through

I can't trust what I'll do to me

'Cause I have lonely dreams

When your grass is green

Down on the river contemplating maybe suicide

Or maybe I'll take somebody else's life

I didn't touch your purse for fun

I had a gun I needed the funds

So don't you condemn me

If you don't know me

'Cause I'll be feenin'

When your grass is green

When the grass is green

I'll be swimmin' in a zone

I just dread to be alone

'Cause I'm afraid of me

Well well well

And ain't nobody here when I'm goin' through

I can't trust what I'll do to me

'Cause I have lonely dreams

When your grass is green

When your grass is green

When your grass is green

Said I be down in the gutter

Lookin' for food

Lookin' for mental satisfaction

And physical reaction

'Cause ain't no fairy in these tales

About talkin' what you want and makin' ball

And hopin' your momma love you still

'Cause this grass ain't nothin' but a mirror

When the grass is green

I'll be swimmin' in a zone

I just dread to be alone

'Cause I'm afraid of me

Well well well well well well

And ain't nobody here when I'm goin' through

I can't trust what I'll do to me

'Cause I have lonely dreams

When your grass is green

When the grass is green

I'll be swimmin' in a zone

I just dread to be alone

'Cause I'm afraid of me

Well well well

And ain't nobody here when I'm goin' through

I can't trust what I'll do to me

'Cause I have lonely dreams

When your grass is green

When your grass is green

When your grass is green

When your grass is green
