"Shady Grove" lyrics

"Shady Grove"

I used to walk on the city streets
Now I wander far and wide
And I never found my happiness
Until I moved to the country-side
Now follow me for a quiet day
Out riding on the trails
Away from smog and traffic clog
Where all the pigs have tails

I'm in shady grove
Shady Grove my honey
Shady Grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove (yeah)

Ah...

If you've been watching the city streets
Can't see 'em get much greener
Then I know where we're going to
Our heads will feel much cleaner

It's Shady Grove my true love
Shady Grove my honey
Shady Grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

How long have we been wanderin'
It's easy to know who you are
When you're living with the trees
Out in Shady Grove
Shady Grove my honey
Shady Grove
Where it's always sunny
