" All I know is sometimes things can be hard
But you should know by now
They come and they go
So why, oh why
Do I look to the other side
'Cos I know the grass is greener but
Just as hard to mow."

You see the lyrics as a truism that continues to resonate even after the song has long since stopped playing.

'Cos I know the grass is greener but
Just as hard to mow."

And in these words I have found some truth.

Mike Lowell hit one of those homers, then connected for a go-ahead, three-run shot in the seventh.

"I haven't been part of anything like that, not even in Little League," Lowell said. "The dugout was going crazy. It was really a cool feeling."
