Greener Than The Grass (We Laid On)

Mais Verde Que a Grama (Onde Deitamos)

Greener Than The Grass (We Laid On)

Eu pintei um quadro bem bonito pras garotas da cidade delaI painted quite a picture for the girls in her hometown
E ela não era exceção à regraAnd she was no exception to the rule
Cantando todas aquelas músicas sobre os lugares que eu já estiveSinging all them songs about the places that I've been
Fazia qualquer um se sentir um idiotaMade a body feel just like a fool
Ela era como o saco de papel que um dia segurou o vinhoShe was like the paper bag that once had held the wine
Jogada sem cuidado ao ventoThrown without no caution to the wind
Eu a deixei como a garrafa vazia jogada no chãoI left her like the empty bottle lyin' on the ground
Jurando que eu a pegaria de novoSwearin' I'd pick her up again
Ela era mais verde que a grama onde deitamos sob aquele sol do AlabamaShe was greener than the grass we laid on underneath that Alabama sun
Acho que ela deveria saber que aquela velha estrada era meu larI guess she should have known that ol' highway was my home
To-do-do-to-do-do do-do-doTo-do-do-to-do-do do-do-do

Eu disse que ela era mais bonita que Paris na chuvaI said she was prettier than Paris in the rain
Senhor, eu a enchi de mentiras de ciganoLord I filled her full of gypsy lies
Jurando que voltaria pra buscá-la na primaveraSwearin' I'd be coming back to fetch her in the spring
Com vergonha de olhar nos olhos delaToo ashamed to look her in the eye
Ela parecia tão simples quanto o vestido de algodão que eu rasgueiShe looked about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn
Entrando na casa dela às 3 da manhãSneakin' in her house at 3 a.m.
A mãe dela gostava de me questionar no dia seguinte e eu tinha certezaHer mama liked to question me the day after and I was sure
Que a intuição dela sabia onde nós estivemosHer intuition told her where we'd been
Ela era mais verde que a grama onde deitamos sob aquele sol do AlabamaShe was greener than the grass we laid on underneath that Alabama sun
Acho que ela deveria saber que aquela velha estrada era meu larI guess she should have known that ol' highway was my home
Ela nunca deveria ter ouvido minhas músicas, minhas músicasShe should have never listened to my songs to my songs
Ela nunca deveria ter ouvido minhas músicasShe should have never listened to my songs
To-do-do-to-do-do do-do-do to-do-do-to-do-do do-do-doTo-do-do-to-do-do do-do-do to-do-do-to-do-do do-do-do
