Green Fields Songtext

von Laurie Lewis

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
