Shade of All Greens

Ah, the blackbird she flies wherever she wants to

The mockingbird singin', oh, any ol' song

And the swallow she's nestin' in the rafters of my house

Summer is coming and the geese are all gone

You got to fly and let fly

Ah, the mower's broke down and the yard's run away with me

I've taken to sittin' and just watchin' it grow

And the rabbits are eatin' like kings in the driveway

And I've just about found me no place to go

You've got to live and let live

Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens

It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes

And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme

And we can go crazy, oh, tomorrow's just fine

I'm gonna sit on the front porch till the lightnin' bugs show up

And it really gets dark and there's dogs in the trash

It's the first and the last time all rolled into this time

You make me feel like I just took a bath

You got to laugh and let laugh

Come sit by my side in the shade of all greens

It smells like the honeysuckle have gone to extremes

And I've found a reason and you've made it rhyme

And we can go laughin' any old time

You got to love and let love

Ah, we can go lovin' any ol' time

You got to fly and let fly
