Your Back Yard
Secret Longings in Your Backyard
Lyrics
I wrote you long love letters, Mama, I sent 'em on day by day
I expressed my love for you through long letters sent daily.
Need you now even more than I did before
I need your presence even more now than in the past.
As I'm lookin', here's your Daddy comin'
Your father is approaching as I observe.
With a big ole shotgun too
Your father is armed with a large shotgun.
Lovin' situtation look mighty poor
The love situation looks dire or problematic.
So if'in you're really wonderin' what I'm doin' in yourbackyard
If you're curious about my actions in your backyard.
I told you ,Baby, I'd beat it home so soon
I promised to return home soon, my love.
But if you're really worrin' 'bout what I' m doin' in yourbackyard
If you're genuinely concerned about my activities in your backyard.
Come on out later I'll show you by the light of the moon
Come out later, and I'll explain under the moonlight.
I had some dreams and fortune really, Mama, I got carried away
I pursued dreams and fortune, losing myself in the process.
And lookin' back even more than I did before
Reflecting on my actions more than before.
As I'm leapin' , creepin', hidin', sleepin' here's your Daddywith a shotgun too
As I move cautiously, your father appears with a shotgun again.
My lovin' situtation ain't nothin' but poor
My love situation remains unfortunate.
So if'in you're really worried 'bout what I'm doin' in yourbackyard
If you're genuinely worried about my actions in your backyard.
I told you, Baby, I's beatin' it home so soon
I assured you I would return home soon.
Well if you're really worrin' 'bout what I' m doin' in yourbackyard
If you're truly concerned about my activities in your backyard.
Come on out later I'll show you by the light of the moon
Come out later, and I'll clarify under the moonlight.
Baby, thinkin' 'bout reelin' back, wonderin' why I'm standin'here cryin', Honey, lookin' in your backyard
I contemplate returning, wondering why I'm crying in your backyard.
Don't ya worry 'bout nothin', ya got nothin' on your mind butme
Assure yourself, don't worry; you're the only thing on my mind.
But as I'm layin' on my back about, thinkin' 'bout summertimegettin' back all the way
Lying down, thinking about summer, everything reminds me of you.
Everything I see, Honey, reminding me
Every sight reinforces memories of you.
Come on get your lovin' man, come on get him while he's hot, gethim on the run
Come and get your loving man, seize the opportunity while he's eager.
Babe, I here your lookin' but really too blind to see, oh, hey,What ya gonna think
You may be looking, but you're too blind to see my intentions.
About wham-bam, thank you Maam, where you goin' on the Wildwoodtrail
Consider the fast-paced Wildwood trail and what lies ahead.
Everything I see, Honey, reminding me
Every sight reinforces memories of you.
Baby, might be thinkin' 'bout, really livin' back, layin' back,standin' in your backyard
Thinking about living in the past, standing in your backyard.

If you're genuinely wondering about my actions in your backyard.
