Where the Tall Grass Grows - Vern Gosdin

There’s three bedrooms

Hardwood floors and the kitchen’s new

It’s got everything a family needs

With a backyard view

Ask anyone where it is

Everybody knows who used to live

Where the tall grass grows

A couple who lived there before

They kept it off

But since they left that big old yard

Looks a little rough

And God, I miss that little boy

Who always kept and mowed

Wish they’d still live

Where the tall grass grows

So come by and get the kid

Go make yourself at home

Take all the time you need

Wish I could come along

But I’d truly be under fire

And crawl across its floor

And to face those burning memories

Where the tall grass grows

Yes, I’d truly be under fire

Crawl across its floor

And to face those burning memories

Where the tall grass grows

Can’t go back and face those memories

Where the tall grass grows
