They say when ya' gonna get a job
Are you gonna go to college
You can't waste your whole life
Singing in some bar
You need a steady boyfriend
You're on the town every evenin
And every Sunday morning we're wonderin where you are
Girl, what's up with you
Tell us the truth
Im like
Green grass and clover
High tide and six days sober
All I see in front of me is blue sky
Theres nothin' in my rear view
Nobody tells me what to do
Im not gonna hang around
This one pony town and wait to die
Like you and you and you
And that's The Truth
Well this aint what you want from me
I'm not who you want me to be
But I'm not living for you
Im living for me
Everything's gonna work out all right
Everythings gonna be just fine
Grapes gotta spend some time in the barrel
Before they make the wine
You see people, I'm just learnin' how to fly
I'm like
Tupelo honey and Carolina moonshine
I get rockin' just after midnight
Turn up the gas and burn this damn place down
I'm a Santa Ana wind breathin' on a wildfire
Burning bridges and holding on for dear life
Drinkin' in the springtime of my youth
And I aint got time for you, or you, or you
And that's The Truth
Oh and freedom ain't free if you're tied down
I can't reach for my dreams if my hands and feet are bound
Let's let loose tonight and have a drink or two
Cause I just want to sing to you, and you, and you
Green grass and clover
High tide and six days sober
All I see in front of me is blue sky
Theres nothin' in my rear view
Nobody tells me what to do
Im not gonna hang around
This one pony town and wait to die
Like you, and you, and you
And that's The Truth
