Backyard Lovin' Man |
| I know you’ve heard a lot of stories |
| But I’d like to tell you this one |
| It happened some years ago |
| In a very small place |
| Well it was considered |
| In a little country town |
| I was born and raised |
| Right next door was where she lived |
| Lucy was her name |
| I was young, but my love |
| Grew for her more each day |
| But her folks they did not understand |
| And made me stay away |
| Up in the back between her house and mine |
| There stood an old brown fence |
| And though it stood between us |
| This was there each day we met |
| I did avow the day would come |
| I’d have her by my side |
| There would be no fence between us |
| We would leave all this behind |
| And I want to tell you all |
| I was her backyard lovin' man |
| I just want to testify |
| I was her backyard lovin' man |
| Oh, I remember |
| I remember |
| The years have passed |
| We’ve grown up |
| And from the house she’s moved |
| I’m still tryin' to make it |
| And she’s making front page news |
| I miss that little country girl |
| The soft touch of her hand |
| But if we were seen together now |
| No one would understand |
| Even though she’s in a different world |
| Where all of her moves are planned |
| She still can’t erase the love she had |
| For her backyard lovin' man |
| If we want to share our love |
| We have to slip away |
| It’s so plain to see there’s still a fence |
| Standing in our way |
| And I want to tell you all |
| I’m still her backyard lovin' man |
| I just want to testify |
| I’m still her backyard lovin' man |
| Oh, I remember |
| I remember |
| When we were young, we talked of love |
| From cracks between the fence |
| And that barrier between our love |
| Has been there ever since |
| I want to tell you all |
| That I’m her backyard lovin' man |
| I just want to testify |
| I’m still her backyard lovin' man |
| We’ll rise above it all someday |
| Together we will have our way |
| And we won’t care what people say |
| And I want to testify |
| That I’m her backyard lovin' man |
| I just want to testify |
| That I’m her backyard lovin' man |
| I just want to tell the world |
| That I’m her backyard lovin' man |
| I just want to testify |
| That I’m her backyard lovin' man |
| I just want to tell you |
