What A Nightmare
(c) 2010 Geneva (Keith) Griffin

Verse 1
ASKED FOR HER HAND RIGHT AFTER high school,
Started a fam'ly AND THEIR LIFE WAS COOL,
They lived on love, SAVORING THE sweet,
Thought they had everything they'd ever need..

Verse 2
Four kids later life had TURNED hard,
A 14 hour day WORKIN' the farm,
They'd quarrel and fight, he'd sleep alone,
Money got tight THE sweet words were gone..

Chorus
He took a one way TRIP to greener pastureS,
Bent the fence, stepped across the line,
THERE HE’S CRYING IN greener pastureS,
The fields were muddy on the other side,
The grass WASN’T greenER OVER there..
WAKIN’ IN A SWEAT.. what a nightmare....

Bridge
That curious stare IN the eye of a stranger,
PUT in HIS mind THOUGHTS THAT LINGER.
BUT THEY AIN’T worth his wife and fam'ly,
HE STILL HAS LOVE AND WON’T BE LONELY.

Chorus
He took a one way TRIP to greener pasture,
Bent the fence, stepped across the line,
THERE HE’S CRYING IN greener pastureS,
The fields were muddy on the other side,
The grass WASN’T greenER OVER there..
WAKIN’ IN A SWEAT.. what a nightmare....


Verse 3
He got off the couch went it to his wife,
Said LET’S talk ‘BOUT GETTIN’ THINGS right,
GIRL I need a break, AND you one too,
Sell a few acres AND START ANEW.

Chorus
He took a one way TRIP to greener pasture,
Bent the fence, stepped across the line,
THERE HE’S CRYING IN greener pastureS,
The fields were muddy on the other side,
The grass WASN’T greenER OVER there..
