Greener Grass

[Verse 1] The devil likes to play He’ll make you the deal of the day You see the grass, it looks a little greener You dip your finger, think you’ll get off cleaner He leans in close Says, “Boy, this one’s most” You sign that line And call it a good time [Pre-Chorus] But the ink ain’t dry Till the sky turns sly One little grin And you’re in again [Chorus] Don’t chase the greener grass Don’t chase the greener grass Looks so sweet at first glance Then it cuts your hand Don’t chase the greener grass Don’t chase the greener grass Full of stickers in the shade That’s the price you pay [Verse 2] He just smiles Says sign here, boy, it’s worth the while As soon as you do Everything turns new Shiny on the top But it’s a trap that never stops You make your move And he hands you proof [Pre-Chorus] One small itch Turns into a stitch One slick deal And it ain’t real [Chorus] Don’t chase the greener grass Don’t chase the greener grass Looks so sweet at first glance Then it cuts your hand Don’t chase the greener grass Don’t chase the greener grass Full of stickers in the shade That’s the price you pay [Bridge] Yeah, I learned the hard way What a pretty lie can say What shines can sting What blooms can bring So I keep my boots on Stay where the truth belongs No easy road Ain’t worth my soul [Chorus] Don’t chase the greener grass Don’t chase the greener grass Looks so sweet at first glance Then it cuts your hand Don’t chase the greener grass Don’t chase the greener grass Full of stickers in the shade That’s the price you pay
