My backyard is an Illinois farm
And yours is a bend in the Hudson river
Her backyard is 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 

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 la 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

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's 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
