''Hard Nose the Highway'' is a Van Morrison Album , released in 1973 . It contains a cover version of the song " Bein' Green ", usually associated with Kermit The Frog .

Recorded during a series of prolific recording sessions, there was more than enough material to fill a double-album. Morrison proposed the idea to Warner Bros. Records , but he was ultimately convinced to release a single LP . A few leftover tracks were saved or re-recorded for future albums like '' Veedon Fleece '', but most would not see release until 1998 's compilation of outtakes, '' The Philosopher's Stone ''.
