I had never even been outside the county line
Unless you count the million times I left inside my mind
In my day dreams I could see
The way the luck would shine on me
When I finally found the wings to fly
As my mama helped me pack my suitcase
She said you know I love you and I'll say it once more anyway

So you'll know what to do if your greener grass turns blue
If your sunny sky turns gray
Sometimes you gotta run
To see just what you're running from
Here at home there'll always be place for you
If your greener grass turns blue

I had tears in my eyes and a ticket in my hand
To give to the man at the station
I was so afraid that mama would say
Something to make me want to stay
But all she did was look at me and smile
She said I believe that you can make your dreams come true
But most of all I believe in you

So you'll know what to do if your greener grass turns blue
If your sunny sky turns gray
Sometimes you gotta run
To see just what you're running from
Here at home there'll always be place for you
If your greener grass turns blue

Sometimes you gotta run
To see just what you're running from
Here at home there'll always be place for you
If your greener grass turns blue
If your greener grass turns blue
