What A Nightmare

(c) 2010 Geneva (Keith) Griffin

Verse 1
He wed that girl from his high school day,
Started a fam'ly when they bought'um a place,
They had lived on love, life was sweet,
Thought they had everything they'd ever need..

Verse 2
Four kids later life had got real hard,
Worked a 14 hour day to keep up with the farm,
They'd quarrel and fight, he'd sleep alone,
When money got tight all those sweet words were gone..

Chorus
He took a one way walk to greener pasture,
Bent the fence, stepped across the line,
A one way walk to greener pasture,
The fields were muddy on the other side,
No the grass weren't green when he got there..
Woke up sweatin'.. what a nightmare....

Bridge
That curious stare from the eye of a stranger,
Can put thoughts in the mind that are dangerous..
Nothing on earth was worth his wife and fam'ly,
He might'a been lonely but he was in love....

Chorus
He took a one way walk to greener pasture,
Bent the fence, stepped across the line,
A one way walk to greener pasture,
The fields were muddy on the other side,
No the grass weren't green when he got there..
Woke up sweatin'.. what a nightmare....

Verse 3
He got off the couch went it to his wife,
Said we need to talk too many things ain't right,
Babe I need a break, you need one too,
We'll sell a few acres do what we gotta do..

Chorus
He took a one way walk to greener pasture,
Bent the fence, stepped across the line,
A one way walk to greener pasture,
The fields were muddy on the other side,
No the grass weren't green when he got there..
Woke up sweatin'.. what a nightmare....
