Dave Potts — In My Backyard lyrics

Lyrics

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
