Greener Than The Grass (We Laid On)

He paints quite a picture for the girls in my home town
 And I was no exception to the rule
 Singing all them songs about the places that he's been
 Made a body feel just like a fool
 My pride was like the paper bag that once held the wine
 Thrown without no caution to the wind
 He left me like the empty bottle lying on the ground
 Swearing he would pick me up again
 And I was greener than the grass we laid on
 Underneath that Alabama sun
 I guess I should have known
 That old highway was his home
 Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do
 He said that I was prettier than Paris in the rain
 Lord, he filled me full of gypsy lies
 Swearing that he'd come back to fetch me in the Spring
 Too ashamed to look me in the eye
 Well I find about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn
 Sneaking in the house at 3 a.m.
 Momma liked to question me the day after and I was sure
 Her intuition told her where I'd been
 And I was greener than the grass we laid on
 Underneath that Alabama sun
 I guess I should have known
 That old highway was his home
 Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do
