[Verse 1] From the Grove to the Bayou the whispers grew loud He wore the crown but he left the crowd Eleven and one like a fairytale glow Then the devil called Baton Rouge Said it's time to go [Prechorus] Dreams in red and blue now scatter and fade A dynasty’s death in the choices we made [Chorus] Oh the grass ain't greener It's purple and gold You thought you'd keep him but the truth's been sold From the highest of highs to a hard Bitter fall In the game of chairs No seat left at all [Verse 2] Players jump ship like leaves in the breeze Recruiters picking bones like vultures on knees Your dreams of a title They’re gone with the rain And all that’s left is this lingering pain [Prechorus] But here in the swamp We wear the black hat The villain’s crown fits Ain't no shame in that [Chorus] Oh the grass ain't greener It's purple and gold You thought you'd keep him but the truth's been sold From the highest of highs to a hard Bitter fall In the game of chairs No seat left at all
