Lyrics

I wish I lived in the country So I could run around Pickin' chicken dinner Diggin' taters from the ground I wish I lived in the country Life would be so keen But I'm stuck here in the city Where the grass is not as green I wish that it was summer When this chilly wind don't blow I almost can't remember a time When there weren't 10 feet of snow I wish that it was summer I'd run a country mile But the grass is always greener If you ain't seen it for a while I go from here to there My pockets and my mind ain't got no sense I never get nowhere And I always think I'm on the wrong side of the fence I wish I could play the guitar That'd be a beautiful thing Imagine all the songs I'd sing If I had just one more string I wish I could play that guitar But this banjo's hard to lose Cuz the bluegrass is greener When you've got the blues I wish I had me a house Start puttin' down some roots A place to hang my hat A place to wipe my boots I wish I had me a home Instead of livin' on the road But the grass is always greener When it isn't yours to mow
