Story Behind The Song

I was just one day thinking how great my life is and how much happiness I've been blessed with. That doesn't mean I've never had troubles or experienced heartache, but if you face challenges with a positive attitude, eventually things have a way of coming out alright in the end.

Song Description

People are often tempted to take notice of all the things everyone else around has, while bemoaning everything they don't have. But the fact is that most of us have it pretty good when we think about it. And that often, the challenges in our lives are just there to make things better for us in the long run.

Lyrics

Well some folks say that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
But when I look at my life and my wife and my kids I think?well that don?t make sense.
?Cause I have everything that a man could want and blessings not a few.
And if the wind starts blowin? I?ll just keep going
And soon I?ll be singing this tune.

CHORUS: That the cooooool?, taaaaaall?, grass is greener,
It?s lookin? greener than I?ve ever seen ?er
And it doesn?t look like things will change real soon.
But if they do and life gets rougher
There must be a reason so I?ll just get tougher.
And I?ll work and pray and God will see me through.

Out on the horizon? there?s a black cloud a risin??
And the thunder rolls and it looks like there?ll be rain.
But there?s always a reason? to every time there?s a season
And if you think it through then I think you?ll say
?How?d ya think the green grass got that way??

CHORUS: And the cooooool?, taaaaaall?, grass will grow greener,
It?ll be greener than you?ve ever seen ?er
Could someone just walk up and pinch me please?
?Cause I don?t know how things could be better,
If you want a good life then go out and get her.
Just do your best and put your mind at ease.

And if once in a while? a cow walks by with a smile?
And she turns around and starts to lift her tail,
Well you don?t have to worry? the reason comes in a hurry
Just think it through and you?ll realize,
?It must be time to fertilize.?

CHORUS: So that the cooooool?, taaaaaall?, grass will grow greener,
It?ll be greener than you?ve ever seen ?er
And it doesn?t look like things will change real soon.
But if they do and life gets rougher
There must be a reason so just get tougher.
And work and pray and God will see you through.

CHORUS: And the cooooool?, taaaaaall?, grass will grow greener,
It?ll be greener than you?ve ever seen ?er
Could someone just walk up and pinch me please?
?Cause I don?t know how things could be better,
If you want a good life then go out and get her.
Just do your best and put your mind at ease.

Just do your best and put your mind at ease.
