Verse
Memory lanes’ the old dirt road
I’m drivin’ down
Me and this rear view boat
I’m lookin’ back now
At the time and the place
When we slipped away
A life is all that was
All the hills and the fields
Take me back nothing quite like
Where I’m from
Chorus
I grew up runnin’ through that green grass
And wearin’ daddy’s Johnny Green ad
And no we never had much green cash
Mama’s love was evergreen yes
Even though I got a good life
Now and then I like to rewind
Cuz it’s nothing like the first times
Can remember what it feels like to be
Green yeah
To be green
Verse
What a gift to be the kid in the yard
Not a care in the world
Twenty bucks and dad’s old car
Pickin’ up a girl
Friday night at a red light
Feelin’ them butterflies
Sneakin’ the first date kiss
Oh it’s crazy to think that all those things
I never knew I missed
Chorus
Like running through that green grass
And wearin’ daddy’s Johnny Green ad
And no we never had much green cash
Mama’s love was evergreen yes
Even though I got a good life
Now and then I like to rewind
Cuz it’s nothing like the first times
Can remember what it feels like to be
Green yeah
To be green
Bridge
And dreams were big and the world is small
Turns out I had it all
Chorus
Running through that green grass
And wearin’ daddy’s Johnny Green ad
And no we never had much green cash
Mama’s love was evergreen yes
And yeah I got a good life
Sometimes I like to rewind
Cuz it’s nothing like the first times
Can remember what it feels like to be
Green yeah
To be green
To be green
