Lyrics:

There's three bedrooms hardwood floors and the kitchen's new
It's got everything a family needs and a backyard view
Ask anyone where it is, everybody knows
Who used to live where the tall grass grows

The couple who lived there before, they kept it up
But since they left, that little yard looks a little rough
And, God, I miss that little boy who always kept it mowed
Wish they still lived where the tall grass grows

So come by and get the key, go make yourself at home
Take all the time you need, wish I could come along
But I'd sooner build a fire and crawl across it slow
Than face those burning memories where the tall grass grows
And I'd sooner build a fire and crawl across it slow
Than face those burning memories where the tall grass grows
Oh, than face those burning memories where the tall grass grows
