[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I got what I wanted, but it ain't home
The grass ain't greener where grass don't grow

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Chorus]
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

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