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 mem'ries where the tall grass grows

And I'd sooner build a fire and crawl across it slow

Than face those burning mem'ries where the tall grass grows

Oh than face those burning mem'ries where the tall grass grows
