The Grass is Greener

The grass is always greener on the other side
The grass is always greener on the other side
The grass is always greener on the other side
Sometimes you only reach over to find.

A man went to the beach with his wife
When a pretty lady passing caught his eye
When she met with her man he let out a sigh
Saying I wish that was me and that she was mine
But the man was looking right back his way
With a look like his mind was about to break
He said check that man getting along with his wife
This one pretty but has too much strife

Young Sherwayne used to dream of fame
Of the day everybody would know his name
So he went out, became a movie star
And that is exactly what he attained
Now the cameras follow him day and night
There is no private moment to the public eye
he said I can't take all this scrutiny
just give me back my obscurity

There was a boy looking over a wall
At the next house three stories tall
He said I have five brothers in this small home
Man, that boy so lucky in his house alone
But the next boy was staring out into space
Wishing that he too could change his place
He said, I would trade this big house and all these toys
To run in that yard with them other boys

I have a friend who lives down in town
But hates the city says it too stink and loud
So he made a plan to get out
Far away from the maddening crowd
So he moved out to the country
And regretted is choice immediately
The man so bored out of his mind
He is down in the city every day and night
