Dave Potts - In My Backyard lyrics

rate me

In my backyard, the sun’s coming up

Sitting on the swing , while the redbird sings, coffee in my favorite cup

In my backyard, there’s not a care in the world

I can just sit back, have a good laugh, watching the dog chase a squirrel

Don’t get me wrong, I love that road when I’m out driving

Heading anywhere the wind might blow

Chasing a song, and a dream that just keeps hiding

Leading me far away from home

When I’m tired of running ‘round, every night in another town

Wonder how I ever got so far, from my backyard

In my backyard, there’s quite a view

It looks like a scene from a magazine, when the azaleas are in bloom

But in my backyard, that’s not what I see

There’s so much more that I’m living for, she’s sitting right next to me

Don’t get me wrong, I love that road when I’m out driving

Heading anywhere the wind might blow

Chasing a song, and a dream that just keeps hiding

Leading me far away from home

Another lonely motel room, another late night call that ends too soon

I only want to be in her arms, in my backyard

In my backyard, there’s 4 little feet

They run so fast, I can’t catch my breath, I want to go in and go to sleep

But in my backyard, when the sun starts to set

The last bit of light, brings a tear to my eye, ‘cause they’ll never be this young again

Don’t get me wrong, I love that road when I’m out driving

Heading anywhere the wind might blow

Chasing a song, and a dream that just keeps hiding

Leading me away from home

When I’m tired from running around, and I’m counting those last miles down

I know I’m headed back where I belong

In my backyard, the sun’s coming up
