Big Backyard
My backyard is an Illinois farm And yours is a bend in the Hudson River Her backyard's Sunset Boulevard And his is the heart of the Mojave Desert My backyard's got an acre of prairie And yours has miles and miles of pavement But come rain or shine, it's the same big sky That's here to remind us we all gotta make it And some folks say to stake your claim And fence it in, but I see it different Come on out to the big backyard It ain't mine, it ain't yours, it's all of ours Now my backyard is a Redwood forest And yours is a rocky shore in New England Her backyard is the streets of Nеw York And his is the hum of the L.A. freeway My backyard has got a blanket of fog And yours has a wholе lot of sunny weather But come rain or shine, it's the same big sky That's here to remind us we belong together And some folks say to stake your claim And fence it in, but I see it different Come on out to the big backyard SongtexteIt ain't mine, it ain't yours, it's all of ours Wherever you ramble, wherever you roam Whoever you are, we've all gotta live here However you march to the beat of your drum Everyone's shining in the big backyard My backyard sure is beautiful But it's getting hard to see through all the fences And your backyard used to stretch so far But now it's coming up short and it seems so senseless How some folks say to stake your claim And fence it in, why can't we see it different? Come on out to the big backyard It ain't mine, it ain't yours, it's all of ours Out in the big backyard, it's all of ours Aus Songtexte Mania
