"Where Grass Won't Grow" is a song by American country music singer George Jones. It was written by Earl "Peanut" Montgomery, one of Jones' favorite songwriters, and tells the story of the hardships faced by a family living on a twelve-acre farm in south Tennessee. The song features a gentle mandolin and three modulations that build to a redemptive closing but, despite a moving vocal from Jones, the single, released on Musicor in 1970, stalled at #28 on the Billboard country singles chart. He would record it again in 1994 with Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Trisha Yearwood for the Bradley Barn Sessions.
