We used to live just on the outskirts of town When I was a little girl The bright skies and the forest And the green fields were my world Then we moved away into the city And left the fields of home behind And now when solitude's so hard to find My memories take me back in time Where are my green fileds now No nowhere around So I'll steal away with my memories And in green fields I'll lay me down Now I've got concrete for my front yard And it's the same way out in back But still it fills my heart with happiness To see green grass push through the cracks () Well I guess I share the same timeworn dreams With folks in cities everywhere To find a little place on God's green Earth And live in peace and quiet there ()
