Barenaked Ladies - Big Back Yard lyrics

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

In the big back yard, yeah
The big back yard, oh yeah

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

In the big back yard, yeah
The big back yard, oh yeah

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

I always wanted a place with a big back yard
I always wanted a place with a big back yard
A big back yard
