[Verse 1]
In a dusty shack high in the Blue Ridge Mountains
It was tough work, brown dirt, and bluegrass songs
Sweet hickory filled the air, Daddy's love was hard but fair
If I knew how rich I was I'd not have gone
[Verse 2]
But the city called my name and I came runnin'
With my young man's hopes and my daddy's old guitar
I played the dives and paid some dues, singin' every tune I knew
And them homesick ones I sang the best by far
[Chorus]
Now I've seen the sun go down
On the streets of New York town
And I've watched it from the hills of old Virginia
Beauty's what the eye beholds
One man's dirt's another's gold
Oh but sometimes, the grass is really greener
[Verse 3]
Well now, the record company man confessed he liked me
But he'd have to shave a few rough edges down
Cut my hair like Brooks and Dunn’s, trade the banjo for some drums
'Cause no one would buy that old high lonesome sound
[Verse 4]
Now I don't know just what this deal has got me
I've gained not a fan and I lost the ones I had
I've worn my heart right through my sleeve singin' a song I don't believe
I believe I'll go back home to Mom and Dad
[Chorus]
Now I've seen the sun go down
On the streets of New York town
And I've watched it from the hills of old Virginia
Beauty's what the eye beholds
One man's dirt's another's gold
Oh but sometimes, the grass is really greener
[Verse 5]
In a dusty shack high in the Blue Ridge Mountains
And when I die it's on this farm they'll lay me down
And the hills will hear my song 'cause it's there that I belong
Man, you just can't shake old roots from Southern ground
[Chorus]
Now I've seen the sun go down
On the streets of New York town
And I've watched it from the hills of old Virginia
Beauty's what the eye beholds
One man's dirt's another's gold
Oh but sometimes, the grass is really greener
