I was looking for a song about cheating cause I think my boyfriend Henry cheats on me and I found this. Couldn't possibly have found anything more accurate.
Oh the grass is green Everywhere but under me Or so it seems Got a wedding band In the name of a wandering man I love the best I can Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me? 'Cause everybody's been sayin You been runnin' around Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me Don't you know that we don't need One more grave in this town Boy if you're smart You'll know you'll only have my heart 'Til death do us part Oh you and I both know That at the end of that forbidden road There's a six-foot hole Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me? 'Cause everybody's been sayin You been runnin' around Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me Don't you know that we don't need One more grave in this town When we wed, we said forever ever and a day The whole town heard you promise to be true So boy you're gonna only give your gypsy heart to me If it's the last thing you do Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me? 'Cause everybody's been sayin You been runnin' around Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me Don't you know that we don't need One more grave in this town Oh one more grave in this town Oh the grass is green Everywhere but under me
I reaaaallllllyyyy fell in love with y'all's music. You have the most perfect harmonies and your style is everything that I've wanted to listen my whole life.! So when I was on pandora and came across Poison and Wine, I was just hooked. I've showed your stuff to ALL of my friends. I am just, completely in love with the music you two produce. It's beautiful.! Come to Alaska.!(:

"The grass is green everywhere but under me" is referring to the expression "the grass is always greener on the other side" meaning he's turning to every woman but her.
