Cool An’ Green An’ Shady Lyrics

Cool An’ Green An’ Shady

This song was first released on the back home again album. it is the only album
it has been released on.


Saturday’s holidays, easy afternoon
Lazy days, summer days
Nothin’ much to do
Rainy days of better days

Hangin’ out inside
Rainy days and city ways
Make me want to hide some place
Cool an’ green an’ shady

Find yourself a piece of grassy ground
Lay down close your eyes
Find yourself and maybe lose yourself
While your free spirit flies

Find yourself a piece of grassy ground
Lay down close your eyes
Find yourself and maybe lose yourself
While your free spirit flies

August skies are lullabies, promises to keep
Dandelions and twisting vines
Clover at your feet
Memories of aspen leaves

Trembling in the wind
Honeybees and fantasies
Where to start again some place
Cool an’ green an’ shady

Cool an’ green an’ shady
Cool an’ green an’ shady
Cool an’ green an’ shady
Cool an’ green an’ shady
Cool an’ green an’ shady
Cool an’ green an’ shady
