Intro
Verse 1
One he grabs a guitar another claims a drum
One he finds a bass now who's the face to say the words we play along
Chasing ghosts down the road and across the yard
Sometimes it's hard to find your song
Verse 2
One he sits and smokes a pipe another to and fro
Back and forth he cussed us and done said, "You know what we all need?
A cool drink and somethin' warm to eat."
We tap our feet. Sweet honey mead
Chorus
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell
Higher than you care to sing along
There's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse
Won't you look at all we've grown
Verse 3
The years go by two at a time the days go by for days
The feeling's for the moment and we only hope they stay along with old friends
I've been blessed beyond belief with folks I know
like Al and Joe. Boys, how you been?
Chorus
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell
Higher than you care to sing along
There's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse
Won't you look at all we've grown
Verse 4
Lookin' back from time to time mostly forward now
The present is a gift and if we lift it up somehow I know we'll all heal
Let the music take your prayers toward the sky
Let 'em fly towards somethin real
Chorus
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell
Higher than you care to sing along
It's been a long time since Mary Ellen's greenhouse
Won't you look at all we've grown
Outro
Yea, there's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse
Won't you look at all we've grown
