Lyrics - Fresh Cut Grass

Fresh cut grass

I see you coming around

I see you talking to the town

I see your number on the card

I asked for in the backyard

I had to look away

The moment I came your way

There was something about your eyes

That gave me away inside

It was the way you looked at me

I was instantly at ease

At the same time

You brought my heart

to my knees

Never thought red would be my favorite color

Never thought green would be in my eyes

Never thought I'd be sneaking a look at her finger

To find out what lies behind the guise

Never thought the hum of an engine

On a Thursday dawn early morning

Would cause my world to turn around

Counting each minute, hour

Yeah, I never thought fresh cut grass

Would smell so good

The look on your face

That gaze toward your work

Your serious chin like stone

Your eyes glance over alone

I saw, but I couldn't look

My eyes would reveal

And I'd be on the hook

I pretend not to see you

But I come out every Thursday dawn

To get my once a week heart

Jumpstarted on the lawn

Pinecones and sticks

Have become my kicks

Never thought red would be my favorite color

Never thought green would be in my eyes

Never thought I'd be sneaking a look at her finger

To find out what lies behind the guise

Never thought the hum of an engine

On a Thursday dawn early morning

Would cause my world to turn around

Counting each minute, hour

Yeah, I never thought fresh cut grass

Would smell so good

That man, he's got my number

But I've got your number too

I could call you anytime

What should I do

I could smile at you, I could wink at him

Brush up against you

Will he think me too bold

And draw back cold

Or will you think me cute

We both know there's that look

We've seen it in our eyes

The lingering too long

The long goodbyes

Never thought red would be my favorite color

Never thought green would be in my eyes

Never thought I'd be sneaking a look at her finger

To find out what lies behind the guise

Never thought the hum of an engine

On a Thursday dawn early morning

Would cause my world to turn around

Counting each minute, hour

Yeah, I never thought fresh cut grass

Would smell so good

Now, fresh cut grass

I smell it all the time

Still when Thursday dawn

Early morning comes along

My heart skips a beat

I walk to the yard

I see your face

I'm in my bare feet

Instead of hide my eyes

I look straight in yours

The stars did us right

No more goodbyes

Never thought red would be my favorite color

Never thought green would be in my eyes

Never thought I'd be sneaking a look at her finger

To find out what lies behind the guise

Never thought the hum of an engine

On a Thursday dawn early morning

Would cause my world to turn around

Counting each minute and hour

Yeah, I never thought fresh cut grass

Would smell so good
