Big Back Yard

[Verse 1]

I always wanted a place with a big back yard

Where the grass is green and the summers are long

Rhubarb growing right behind the garage

I was always dreaming of the big back yard

All I ever wanted was a big back yard

Where me and my brothers could play our guitars

Gaze in wonder at the moon and stars

And sing all night in the big back yard

I always wanted a place with a big back yard

With a porch for your mother and a deck of cards

Eighteen chickens and a Saint Bernard

And a cat named Rudy in the big back yard

[Chorus]

In the big back yard, yeah

The big back yard, oh yeah

[Verse 2]

I always wanted a place with a big back yard

With a neighbour who waves while I'm mowing the lawn

A big oak tree with a swing for my son

And my daughtеr in the big back yard

I always wanted a place with a big back yard

Whеre we tell a ghost story by a marshmallow fire

A vegetable garden and a garden gnome

But now all I really want is a home

All I really want is a home

I always wanted a place with a big back yard

With a path to the river not very far

A tub that bubbles and a cue that barbs

And buffalo grazing in the big back yard

[Chorus]

In the big back yard, yeah

The big back yard, oh yeah

[Verse 3]

I always wanted a place with a big back yard

I've been living so long with this hole in my heart

I became a drifter and began to roam

Now all I really want is a home

All I really want is a home

[Outro]

I always wanted a place with a big back yard

I always wanted a place with a big back yard

A big back yard
