Someone Else's Yard (lyrics)

It’s too hot here in the summer

But part of me is scared of the cold

Used to romanticize the transient life

But sleeping in this car is getting old

Came out here for the dreaming

But lately I can’t sleep

Not too sure I want to work for the man

But it don’t matter, ‘cause he don’t want to hire me

Greener grass grows in someone else’s yard

Soon enough though the trees will wear their funeral garb

I’ve got nowhere to go down Old Hickory Boulevard 

No one ever told me growing up would be this hard

Got a call from my mom today

Killed me to hear her cry

Told me that I should trust in Jesus

But I’m starting to wonder why

God, if you’re down in Nashville

Could you come talk to me

I’m sick of signs of signs and expectations

Of the man I might never be

Greener grass grows in someone else’s yard

Soon enough though the trees will wear their funeral garb

I’ve got nowhere to go down Old Hickory Boulevard 

No one ever told me growing up would be this hard

It’s too hot here in the summer

But part of me is scared of the cold

Used to fantasize about being a rock star

But now it’s like my whole life is a show
