River in My Backyard

[Verse 1]

Morning steam from my coffee cup

Bare feet on the kitchen floor

Little plant on the window ledge

Growing like it’s asking for more

[Chorus]

I got a river in my backyard

Flowing slow

Flowing sweet through my day (oh yeah)

Every worry that I hold hard

Drifts away

Drifts away

Drifts away

I got a river in my backyard

And it keeps on calling my name

When the world feels cracked and scarred

River come and wash my mind clean again

[Verse 2]

Neighbor kids kicking up red dust

Old dog sleeping in the shade

Mama hums while the rice pan simmers

Simple song that never fades

[Chorus]

I got a river in my backyard

Flowing slow

Flowing sweet through my day (hey)

Every worry that I hold hard

Drifts away

Drifts away

Drifts away

I got a river in my backyard

And it keeps on calling my name

When the world feels cracked and scarred

River come and wash my mind clean again
