Green Grass and High Tides

"Green Grass and High Tides" is a song by American Southern rock band Outlaws.

The song is one of their best known, and has received extensive play on album-oriented radio stations,[1] although it was never released as a single.

That was the name of the Rolling Stones' greatest hits—this is like 1966—and I think it was a manifestation of that title turned in reverse, 'Green Grass and High Tides.'

And I know that it was a song written for rock and roll illuminaries, from Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix, and it had nothing to do with marijuana.

[2] "Green Grass and High Tides" was the usual show closer for the Outlaws and the 20 minute+ version can be found on the concert album Bring It Back Alive (1978).
