The Color Green

I recall when you once said, "There's truth in both of usAnd 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
IHappy-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?
