[Verse 1:] You gotta be a little smarter Try a little bit harder You gotta do what you can To get on down the line You gotta dig a little deeper And push a little bit further You gotta do what you can And not be left behind You gotta do it for yourself And I will too You gotta put it all behind you Leave nothing to remind you You got to put it all away To get out what’s inside Be honest with yourself And I will too You gotta do it for yourself And I will too You gotta speak a little louder You gotta be a little prouder Cause you know that someday Your bones will be in the ground
[Chorus:] The grass is a whole lot greener On the other side I left a part of myself When I left it all behind Hungry gather ground It's not what I've been reading But what I've been needing You and I we came to feel all right Trying to get on down the line
[Verse 2:] You gotta do it for yourself And I will too Be honest with yourself And I will too You gotta take a little love And I will too You gotta take a little love If I will too
[Chorus:] The grass is a whole lot greener On the other side I left a part of myself When I left it all behind Hungry gather ground
[Outro:] It's not what I've been reading But what I've been needing Feeling it out came to feel alright Trying to get on down the line You gotta do it for yourself And I will too
