Song Lyric - Backyard Vacation

Backyard Vacation (Country, male vocal, speed/tempo in vein of Zac Brown Band's "Knee Deep" w/Jimmy Buffet) When life’s hurdles got ya goin’ Around in circles without you knowin’ And it seems they’ll never end I take a walk in my backyard I like that it’s so large There I look around and take it all in Sometimes life feels strained It shows us joy and sometimes pain I’m here to tell ya a backyard can explain.. That just for a few minutes So long as a hammock’s in it Life’s trials can’t ever beat out a sunny day I’m lucky got a few nice acres Trees and a pond from our good lord maker I’m thinkin’ it’s funny how it got this way As I take in the view And tell myself don’t be a fool This feeling is what you never want to go away Sometimes life feels strained It shows us joy and sometimes pain I’m here to tell ya a backyard can explain.. That just for a few minutes So long as a hammock is in it Life’s trials can’t ever beat out a sunny day The beauty you’ll see offers a hedge Like a tree’s reflection against the water’s edge It’s a paintin’ you can see in your mind It’s all a gift so enjoy the tryin’ Sometimes life feels strained It shows us joy and sometimes pain I’m here to tell ya a backyard can explain.. That just for a few minutes So long as a hammock’s in it Life’s trials can’t ever beat out a sunny day Can’t ever beat out a sunny day..
