The Grass Ain’t Greener

A country wake-up call about the real side of self-employment – when that 9-to-5 doesn’t look so bad after all 🎵

LYRICS

[Verse]
You’re sitting at your desk complaining ’bout your nine-to-five
Dreaming of the day you’ll tell your boss goodbye
You think I’m living free – no one to answer to
But let me tell you something, friend, about what’s really true
[Chorus]
Oh, the grass ain’t greener when you work alone
When you’re sick or tired you still power on
Double the hours – half of what I made before
Don’t come knocking at my door!
[Verse]
You clock out at five while I’m still pushing through
Got client calls and deadlines always due
You envy my freedom but here’s the real deal
The hustle’s relentless, the struggle’s all too real
[Chorus]
Oh, the grass ain’t greener when you work alone
When you’re sick or tired you still power on
Double the hours – half of what I made before
Don’t come knocking at my door!
[Bridge]
Late nights turn into early mornings
Emails and calls without warnings
You think it’s paradise but here’s the score
My life ain’t chillin’ – it’s a hardcore chore
[Verse 3]
Vacation days
What’s that?
I can’t recall…
No time to relax or even hit the mall
You see the highlight reel and think it’s all gold
But the truth’s hidden deep
Now it’s been told
[Chorus]
Oh, the grass ain’t greener when you work alone
When you’re sick or tired you still power on
Double the hours – half of what I made before
Don’t come knocking at my door!
Don’t come knocking at my door!
[Bridge]
Late nights turn into early mornings
Emails and calls without warnings
You think it’s paradise but here’s the score
My life ain’t chillin’
it’s a hardcore chore
[Verse 3]
Vacation days
What’s that?
I can’t recall…
No time to relax or even hit the mall
You see the highlight reel and think it’s all gold
But the truth’s hidden deep
Now it’s been told
