The grass don't get no greener Than on my side of the fence I whooped my demons years ago And I ain't seen 'em since So I been living cleaner And I don't get so tense 'Cause the grass don't get no greener Than on my side of the fence But I remember a time When I thought I would die No matter how hard I tried She was never satisfied The grass don't get no bluer Than on my side of the fence She lit out of her three months ago I ain't seen her since My bills are all high lonesome I can't pay the rent And the grass don't get no bluer Than on my side of the fence So I cried and I cried And I shouted at the sky And I went down full throttle And I lived in my bottle Just to get by The grass don't get no kinder Than on my side of the fence My buzz kicked into overdrive And I don't make no sense So burn my lemons faster And reconvene my tents 'Cause the grass don't get no kinder Than on my side of the fence
