GRASS WON'T GROW ON A BUSY STREET
(Ray Pennington)


Kenny Price - 1967
Jeannie Seely - 1967


The wind and I have a lot in common
It seems we're always in a race with time
We never know just where we're goin'
Or think about what we leave behind

Grass won't grow on a busy street
You can't take bitter and make it sweet
You can't draw water from a well that's dry
Rain won't fall from a clear blue sky
Grass won't grow on a busy street

Love will bloom in any season
But I found out some time ago
My heart just beats in one direction
I won't give true love time to grow

Grass won't grow on a busy street
You can't take bitter and make it sweet
You can't draw water from a well that's dry
Rain won't fall from a clear blue sky
Grass won't grow on a busy street

I never was a little baby
If you don't believe me, just ask my Dad
Anything I do, I do it big, boys
When I'm good I'm good and when I'm bad I'm bad

Grass won't grow on a busy street
You can't take bitter and make it sweet
You can't draw water from a well that's dry
Rain won't fall from a clear blue sky
Grass won't grow on a busy street
