Green Prairies Lyrics

My brother says I told you so

When the cat bites me and she don't let go

He knows more than all of us know

Or he's wise enough to stay quiet when voices rise

Eat his dinner and avert his eyes

Hope one day he don't compromise

There's a feature on a silver screen

Where his story's told and his name is seen

I want freedom ringing out

For green prairies and quieted mouths

I'll make my living doing what I like

When I meet somebody I won't think twice

Picks me flowers and holds me tight

We'll marry under rows of trees

My brother and my mother and my father see

Laughter in our shouts and screams

We'll buy a small house

With a big yard

Where I care for those I love

Nothing's too hard

I want freedom ringing out

For green prairies and quieted mouths

We'll buy a small house

With a big yard

Where I care for those I love

Nothing's too hard

There's a feature on a silver screen

Where his story's told and his name is seen
