Lyrics
MY BACKYARD
Written by: Dave Zobl
When I was a kid I played for The Bears
I was Dick Butkus and I was Gayle Sayers
Out in my backyard without any cares
I?m gonna be somebody?
Baseball came with summer days
I?m Mickey Mantle and I?m Willie Mays
Out in my backyard makin? big plays
I?m gonna be somebody
Chorus:
Whatever happened to that little kid
Confidence in everything he did
Never scared to take a chance
Left nothing up to happenstance
He got old and his life got hard
Gotta go back to my backyard
I saw The Beatles on The Sullivan Show
That?ll be one day I know
Out in my backyard with a radio
I?m gonna be somebody
Remember that day we landed on the moon
I said to myself I?ll be up there soon
Out in my backyard in a rocket I?d zoom
I?m gonna be somebody
Chorus:
It can be tough getting older
You?re deepest dreams you disregard
Take the weight of the world off your shoulder
And head on back to your backyard
