Lyrics

Adventures In Your Own Backyard

Twelve steps into your backyard
Through tall green grass and into the wild
Ain't it feel right
Ain't it feel nice
In your own backyard

Through dirty winding roads around your feet
That carries me along into the beat
Didn't need to go so far
To find what you were thirsty for
Didn't need to go so far
To find what you are looking for
'Cause it was always beside
Just right behind
Right up ahead
You just didn't know
It was in your own backyard

Twelve steps into your backyard

Twelve steps into your backyard

Twelve steps into your backyard

Twelve steps into your backyard
