There's a place
I can get to

Where I'm safe
>From the city blues
And it's green

And it's quiet
Only trouble was
I had to buy it

And I'll do anything I got to do >
Cut my hair and shine my shoes > chorus
And keep on singin' the blues >

If I can stay here in Johnny's garden >
As the swift bird
Flies over the grasses

Dipping now and then
To take his breakfast
Thus I come and go

And I travel
And I can watch that bird
And unravel

Chorus --
With his love
And his carin'

He puts his life
Into beauty sharin'
And his children

Are his flowers
There to give us peace
In quiet hours

Chorus --
