Big Backyard (feat. Old Crow Medicine Show)

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
It 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

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

Out in the big backyard, it's all of ours
