There's three bedrooms Hardwood floors and the kitchen's new It's got everything a family needs With a backyard view
Ask anyone where it is Everybody knows who used to live Where the tall grass grows
A couple who lived there before They kept it off But since they left that big old yard Looks a little rough
And God, I miss that little boy Who always kept and mowed Wish they'd still live Where the tall grass grows
So come by and get the kid Go make yourself at home Take all the time you need Wish I could come along
But I'd truly be under fire And crawl across its floor And to face those burning memories Where the tall grass grows
Yes, I'd truly be under fire Crawl across its floor And to face those burning memories Where the tall grass grows Can't go back and face those memories Where the tall grass grows
