Lyrics of No Shade of Green by Flatland Cavalry

verse

No shade of green could describe the beauty trapped inside her eyes
Red lipstick from the blood of all them boys who failed and tried

verse

Held up for all to see
With legs as long as she is free
Made strong by walking out on any man
Who couldn't let her be

chorus

I just wish that I could remember your name
My jaded heart will never be the same
I wish that I could remember your name
'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face

verse

You're a 19-year-old Cabernet
Bittersweet to the taste
Memory only gets better with age
And you outta see her singin' songs
From the cooler she's been standin' on
She might as well be the main stage
Singin' all the words to Long Hot Summer Day
And I can't look away

chorus

And I wish that I could remember your name
My jaded heart will never be the same
I wish that I could remember your name
'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face

chorus

I just wish that I could remember your name
My jaded heart will never be the same
I wish that I could remember your name
'Cause I know you're more than just a

chorus

And I wish that I could remember your name
My jaded heart will never be the same
I wish that I could remember your name
'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face

outro

No shade of green could describe the beauty trapped inside her eyes
Red lipstick from the blood of all them boys who failed and tried
Writer(s): Cleto Cordero
