There's three bedrooms, hardwood floor, and the kitchen's new It's got everything a family needs and a backyard view Ask anyone where it is, everybody knows who used to live there Where the tall grass grows The couple who lived there before, oh, they kept it up But since they left that big old yard, oh, it looks just a little bit rough And God, I miss that little boy who always kept it more Wish they still lived there where the tall grass grows So come by and get the key, go make yourself at home Take all the time you need, wish I could come along But I'd sooner build a fire than crawl across it's snow Than to face those burning memories where the tall grass grows Yes, I'd sooner build a fire than crawl across it's snow Than to face those burning memories where the tall grass grows I can't go back and face those memories where the tall grass grows
