Rusty Old Horse - Big Back Yard (Molly Tuttle cover)

Описание: Filmed in Quartzsite, AZ

Music & Lyrics by Ketch Secor and Molly Tuttle
Original recording released in 2022

No codex is required to figure out what Molly Tuttle and Ketch Secors 'Big Back Yard' is all about. 'Big Back Yard' is about America, certainly. But it is also about equity and inclusiveness. And there is an undertone of environmentalism.

The land we occupy as humans is meant to be shared. Not just in this country. Not just within the human race. Everything is for everybody. Or at least it darn well ought to be! That is the message.

Lyrics:
My backyard is an Illinois farm
And yours is a bend in the Hudson River

Her backyard's Sunset Boulevard
And his is the heart of the Mojave Desert

My backyard's got an acre of prairie
And yours has miles and miles of pavement

But come rain or shine, it's the same big sky
That's here to remind us we all gotta make it

And some folks say to stake your claim
And fence it in, but I see it different

Come on out to the big backyard
It ain't mine, it ain't yours, it's all of ours

Now my backyard is a Redwood forest
And yours is a rocky shore in New England

Her backyard is the streets of New York
And his is the hum of the L.A. freeway

My backyard has got a blanket of fog
And yours has a whole lot of sunny weather

But come rain or shine, it's the same big sky
That's here to remind us we belong together

And some folks say to stake your claim
And fence it in, but I see it different

Come on out to the big backyard
It ain't mine, it ain't yours, it's all of ours

Wherever you ramble, wherever you roam
Whoever you are, we've all gotta live here

However you march to the beat of your drum
Everyone is shining in the big backyard

My backyard sure is beautiful
But it's getting hard to see through all the fences

And your backyard used to stretch so far
But now it's coming up short and it seems so senseless

How some folks say to stake your claim
And fence it in, why can't we see it different?

Come on out to the big backyard
It ain't mine, it ain't yours, it's all of ours

Out in the big backyard
It's all of ours
