Lyrics

[Verse]
Out on the backroads where the pine trees sway,
I got a little patch where the sunshine stays,
Up from the creek, a hidden grove,
Mama's kitchen herbs don't grow as slow.

[Chorus]
Well, the sheriff don't know and the preachers don't see,
I got a green thumb and it sets me free,
A little roadside stand, just a harmless deed,
When the folks come 'round, they’re looking for the weed.

[Verse 2]
Old man Jenkins, he don't say much,
Buys a little stash with his Social Security crunch,
In the middle of the night, shadows dancing on the hill,
Trading cash for a thrill, up under the moonlight still.

[Chorus]
Well, the sheriff don't know and the preachers don't see,
I got a green thumb and it sets me free,
A little roadside stand, just a harmless deed,
When the folks come 'round, they’re looking for the weed.

[Verse 3]
Sally Mae's got a smile when she gets a whiff,
Says it helps her relax, eases her Memphis shifts,
Each handshake's a secret, each deal a bit hush,
In a world moving fast, it's the small-town rush.

[Chorus]
Well, the sheriff don't know and the preachers don't see,
I got a green thumb and it sets me free,
A little roadside stand, just a harmless deed,
When the folks come 'round, they’re looking for the weed.
