Right Here Where I Am

I'm not the Count of Monte Cristo
No, you'll never see me on the Jerry Springer show
They say California's the place to go
But I like it right here where I am
I keep myself in pretty good condition
I say my prayers like the act of contrition
To keep my sanity, I just go fishin
And that's why I like it where I am

They say the grass is always greener on the other side
But every time I jump that fence, I seem to collide
With somebody who wants to take me for a different ride
I always tell them that I like it right here where I am

It doesn't matter if I'm wrong or right
To prove my point, sometimes I put up a fight
While I keep things in perspective, try to treat people right
So I stay here where I am

They say the grass is always greener on the other side
But every time I jump that fence, I seem to collide
With somebody who wants to take me for a different ride
I always tell them that I like it right here where I am

I'm not the Count of Monte Cristo
No, you'll never see me on the Jerry Springer show
They say California's the place to go
But I like it right here where I am
Yeah, I like it right here where I am
Yeah, I like it right here where I am
