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
