Barenaked Ladies - Big Back Yard lyrics

[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
