Where The Tall Grass Grows
There's three bedrooms, hardwood flooring and the kitchen's new
It's got everything a family needs with a backyard view
Ask anyone where it is, everybody knows
Who used to live where the tall grass grows
The couple who lived there before, they kept it up
But since they left, that big old yard looks a little rough
And God, I miss that little boy who always kept it mowed
Wish they still live where the tall grass grows
So come by and get the key, go make yourself at home
Take all the time you need, wish I could come along
But I'd sooner build a fire and crawl across it slow
Than to face those burning memories where the tall grass grows
Yes, I'd sooner build a fire and crawl across it slow
Than to face those burning memories where the tall grass grows
Can't go back and face those memories where the tall grass grows
It's got everything a family needs with a backyard view
Ask anyone where it is, everybody knows
Who used to live where the tall grass grows
The couple who lived there before, they kept it up
But since they left, that big old yard looks a little rough
And God, I miss that little boy who always kept it mowed
Wish they still live where the tall grass grows
So come by and get the key, go make yourself at home
Take all the time you need, wish I could come along
But I'd sooner build a fire and crawl across it slow
Than to face those burning memories where the tall grass grows
Yes, I'd sooner build a fire and crawl across it slow
Than to face those burning memories where the tall grass grows
Can't go back and face those memories where the tall grass grows
