Yeah, it was too small, it was too slow
I needed somewhere with more lanes on the roads
So, I packed up, got the heck out of dodge
Found me a town with more colors than camouflage

Yeah, I got what I wanted, but it ain't home
The grass ain't greener where grass don't grow

So, I'm heading back to them hayfield pastures
I'm slowin' down where the sweet corn grows
Don't need my life to move any faster
Then a Chevy on a two-lane road
Stuck behind a tractor
Stuck behind a tractor

I miss the quiet, I miss the stars
My old dog misses that backyard
Yeah, I need a cold can, I need a bonfire
I need a little 'where I'm from' mud on my tires

So, I'm heading back to them hayfield pastures
I'm slowin' down where the sweet corn grows
Don't need my life to move any faster
Then a Chevy on a two-lane road
Stuck behind a tractor, takin' its time
'Til I get there, I ain't takin' mine
I'm flyin'

Yeah, I got what I wanted, but it ain't home
I guess the grass ain't greener where grass don't grow

So, I'm heading back to them hayfield pastures
I'm slowin' down where the sweet corn grows
Don't need my life to move any faster
Then a Chevy on a two-lane road
Stuck behind a tractor, takin' its time
When I get there, I'll be just fine
Stuck behind a tractor
Stuck behind an old tractor

I'm doing twenty in a forty-five
Just takin' my time
