long lonely road
valerie june
pile in the church pew rows
gran made the best yeast rolls
'bout the one way to save your soul
we're gonna hit the dusty road
four wheels can barely load
pops earned his bread in dust
but his hard-working hands fed us
sun up till sun sank down
his body worked to the ground
folks thought we had it made
'cause we always kept a face
meanwhile there's bills to pay
and the stack growing every day
i packed up the grass is green
where i am is where i'll be
god tell me 'bout your plans
and i'll find a place to land
to move towards a brighter day
one person's path unpaved
went towards the path that saved
these are the songs you sing
in the search for the grass that's green
