Even a concrete city has a backyard

And what you plant in the ground makes you who you are

So be careful of the seeds you sow

Some will bloom, some won't grow

But if you don't try, you'll never know

And you won't like every color and every shade

And you might need the sun and only find the rain

You need to know this, it ain't all roses

And picking out the weeds is kinda hard

But you gotta take care of your own backyard

Just when you think you've got it all together

You'll find out real quick you can't control the weather

It'll burn it down and rip up the roots

When all that's left is the dirt and you

That's when you know you've got work to do

And you won't like every color and every shade

And you might need the sun and only find the rain

You need to know this, it ain't all roses

And picking out the weeds is kinda hard

But you gotta take care of your own backyard

And you won't like every color and every shade

And you might need the sun and only find the rain

You need to know this, it ain't all roses

And picking out the weeds is kinda hard

Yeah, you need to know this, it ain't all roses

And picking out the weeds is kinda hard

But you gotta take care of your own backyard

Even a concrete city has a backyard

And what you plant in the ground makes you who you are
