On That Note: I Fought the Lawn

[cycloner29]

Where the black water rolls and the saw grass sways....

 

[Mead For My Horses]

As soon as I saw the thread title, I knew there had to be at least one John Cougar Mellencamp song that fit this topic.

@cyclones500, great thread title

And this one:
She said, "you're such a snake in the grass, boy
But tonight, you're mine"

"You know I've smoked a lot of grass O Lord"

"You know I've smoked a lot of grass O Lord"

I still find it fascinating "The Pusher" was written by Hoyt Axton, who also wrote "Joy to the World."

Sex farm woman
I'm gonna mow you down
Sex farm woman
I'll rake and hoe you down

 

[viking63]

Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

Lyrics: ...Fall on my face on somebodies new mown lawn...

 

[cytor]

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,
With a couple of kids running in the yard,
Of Desmond and Molly Jones... (Ha ha ha ha ha)

Sturgill Simpson's "Cuttin' Grass" album is excellent. Versions of his originals done in bluegrass.

The Outlaws' Green Grass and High Tides:



No relation to the Rolling Stones album High Tides and Green Grass:

 

[psycln11]

Well, I beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today
We're born again, there's new grass on the field
A-roundin' third and headed for home
It's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel

“We’ll stumble through the yard.”

 

[cyclones500]

“I walked out in a field, the grass was high ...”

 

[cyclones500]

“She used to mow the lawn.”

 

[cyclones500]

“I’m going away to where the grass is greener still.”

 

[cyclones500]

“Where the grass in green and the girls are pretty.”
