LYRIC FOR SALE

By Jennifer Cook

(VERSE 1)

Sitting on the front porch, rocking in my chair,
Thinking 'bout them days, when the world seemed fair
Kick ball in the yard, dodging and weaving
Friends all around, laughing and believing,


(CHORUS)

Oh, those backyard days, filled with joy and light
Now just memories, slipping out of sight
Gone are the times of building forts and making mud pies
Oh, what happened to those simple southern skies?


(VERSE 2)

Do you remember when we ran through the trees
Imagined we were pirates, sailing the seven seas
Making mud pies in the old creek bed
Those were the days when stories were all we said


(CHORUS)

Oh, those backyard days, filled with joy and light
Now just memories, slipping out of sight
Gone are the times of building forts and making mud pies
Oh, what happened to those simple southern skies?


(BRIDGE)

I long for the days when life was easy
No worries, just laughter, feeling so breezy
But time marches on, as it always will do
And those backyard days seem far from view


(CHORUS)

Oh, those backyard days, filled with joy and light
Now just memories, slipping out of sight
Gone are the times of building forts and mud pies
Oh, what happened to those simple southern skies?


(OUTRO)

But I'll hold on tight to those memories, dear
Of kick ball and dodge ball, and dreaming without fear
In my heart, those days will forever reside
Backyard days, always by my side
