The Color Green

I recall when you once said, "There's truth in both of us
And all that lies ahead", I take it your tongue
It just got twisted or maybe it got tired
Or maybe your memory waved goodbye

When your so-called friends forget your name
When your so-called friends, they ain't the same
When your so-called friends, they've lost thier way
And they ain't what they was just the other day, hey

Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say
Just like a dog that's turned on you
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?

How I couldn't see through your thin disguise?
Lord only knows and such a fool was I
Happy-go-lucky that's what I was and what I hope to be
But I feel that I've lost that side of me

When your so-called friends forget your name
When your so-called friends they ain't the same
When your so-called friends they've lost thier way
And they ain't what they was just the other day, hey

Shoulda listened to what my folks, they had to say
Just like a dog thats turned on you,
Ain't it funny what the color green will make some people do?
