The Green in My Hand

[Verse] Well, I wake up with the dawn, the rooster crows at five, Out on this old farm, where we struggle, but survive. Life gets heavy and the days can be so tough, So I roll a little green when I'm feelin' down on luck. [Verse 2] Mama worries 'bout my habits, says it's bound to lead me astray, But she don't know the quiet peace I find at the end of day. Folks around here, they talk and they wonder about my plans, But they ain't walked a mile with the green in my hands. [Chorus] Oh, I find solace in the fields, where the wildflowers grow, With a simple little pleasure only country folk can know. In the shadows of these mountains, where the rivers gently flow, I light up and let the worries of the world just go. [Verse 3] Out in the barn, with the sweet smell of hay, I take a toke and watch the sunlight slowly fade away. The cattle low and the tractors rust; life moves slow and grand, But it feels just right with the green in my hands. [Bridge] Life's a winding gravel road, far from the city lights, Where the moon hangs low and the stars shine bright. No need for riches or fame, in this quiet bit of land, Just a simple man's joy with the green in his hand. [Chorus] Oh, I find solace in the fields, where the wildflowers grow, With a simple little pleasure only country folk can know. In the shadows of these mountains, where the rivers gently flow, I light up and let the worries of the world just go.
