Lyrics
The Color Green
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I recall when you once said
"There's truth in both of us
And all that lies ahead."
I take it your tongue,
It just got twisted,
Or maybe it got tired,
Or maybe your memory waved goodbye.
When your so-called friends forget your name
When your so-called friends, they aint the same
When your so-called friends, they've lost thier way
And they aint what they was just the other day, hey
Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say
Just like a dog thats turned on you,
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?
How I couldn't see through your thin disguise,
Lord only knows, and such a fool was I
Happy-go-lucky thats what I was, and what I hope to be
But I feel that I've lost that side of me
When your so-called friends forget your name
When your so-called friends they aint the same
When your so-called friends they've lost thier way
And they aint what they was just the other day, hey
Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say
Just like a dog thats turned on you,
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?
