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 a 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

All I ever wanted was 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 mowing the lawn
A big oak tree with a swing for my son 
And my daughter in the big back yard

All I ever wanted was a big back yard 
Where 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

All I ever wanted was 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  
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

All I ever wanted was a big back yard 
All I ever wanted was a big back yard 
A big back yard
