The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides
In a place you always dream of, where your soul is always free
Silver stages, golden curtains, filled my head plain as could be
As a rainbow grew around the sun, all my stars above, who died
Came somewhere beyond the scene you see
These lovely people played for me
Now if I let you see this place where stories all ring true
Will you let me past your face to see what's really you?
It's not for me I ask this question as though I were a king
For you have to love, believe and feel
Before the burst of tambourines take you there
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone, soul and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you
Those who don't believe me, find your souls and set them free
Those who do, believe and know that time will be your key
Time and time again I've thanked them for a peace of mind
That helped me find myself amongst the music and the rhyme
That enchants you there
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone, soul and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you
Yeah, play for you...

밴드의 데뷰 앨범 Outlaws 에서 열 번째이자 마지막 트랙입니다. 이 노래는 2 곡의 확장 된 기타
솔로로 거의 10 분 동안 노래가 펼쳐지는 것으로 유명합니다.
흔히 컨트리 락으로 알려졌다고 말하는데 그건 오류죠. 이들의 음악은 레너드 스키너드 와 같은
서든락을 하는 친구들이었는데 말입니다.
컨트리의 고전 Ghost Riders in the Sky 을 커버하면서 세간의 이목을 집중 시키지만 정작 이들은
고개를 갸웃거립니다. 컨트리 락이 아닌 서든락인데 컨트리로 전하는 방송국이 많았던 탓이죠.
지금은 지나간 비하인드 이야기지만 말 입니다.
