Demun Jones - Backyard Lullaby Lyrics






I'm not trying to complain, I'm so thankful for what I got
I work my fingers to the bone but these bills they never stop
No matter how much overtime I get it ain't quite enough
The mortgage get's late, something breaks and that's when the times get tough
And bad things come in threes but I wish that wasn't true
Cause I don't think I can take another after this one and two
There's still a roof over our head and plenty of food to eat
Clean clothes for both of the kids, socks and shoes on their feet
And they got no idea I'll never let them see me sweat
I'll do what I got to do to make it right with no regrets
And if my stress gets to high them I will take a step outside
Embrace the sounds the nature makes my backyard lullaby

Listen to the crickets sing, the rattle of the dog chain
Listen to the south bound breeze just creeping through the trees
And the creek of the weather vains
Sitting in my long chair, sending up a little prayer, I need some answers tonight
Turn my troubles down low, Lord soothe my soul
One more time with the backyard lullaby

Like every other working man I go threw trying times
When responsibility's rain heavy on my mind
And I just need to get away and take a walk outside
I don't need no flashlight, I got stars and moonshine
Than the breeze starts whistling, the whimp of wheels start singing
I love listening to forget the way that I'm feeling
'Cause sounds I hear at night I don't notice in the day
All the dogs barking loud like they got something to say
Engines in the diesel trucks roaring down the highway
I feel bass beating in speakers a mile away
If my tension starts to rise I got to be outside
That's the only place I can hear my backyard lullaby

Listen to the crickets sing, the rattle of the dog chain
Listen to the south bound breeze just creeping through the trees
And the creek of the weather vains
Sitting in my long chair, sending up a little prayer, I need some answers tonight
Turn my troubles down low, Lord soothe my soul
One more time with the backyard lullaby

Listen to the crickets sing, the rattle of the dog chain
Listen to the south bound breeze just creeping through the trees
And the creek of the weather vains
Sitting in my long chair, sending up a little prayer, I need some answers tonight
Turn my troubles down low, Lord soothe my soul
One more time with the backyard lullaby

    Shout out to the hardworking Mammas out there. Let's face it, theres alot more women put there providing for their kids. ...ON THEIR OWN. Good song, but in this video I see a home and a happy family that's together. What's hard is being a woman, with nobody's support raising 4 kids on her own. There s a million more of those stories sadly, than the hardworking, married Father.

    This song has gotten me through so many tough times. Every time I listen my stress just melts away.

  81. Z.... ....

    outside is the only way to be calm

  82. J.... ....

    AND your stage name is DEMUN. Just sayin'

  83. J.... ....

    The first metre of the song is "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes, missing a couple of notes. It's been messing with me for an hour or so. I HAD to FIGURE it out. It's also used as cadence throughout the song, but missing those couple of notes. Intentional, or not, I dig it. BTW, what does Luce Vision mean? I've noticed that at the end of some of your', Upchurch, and Calhoun videos. It's often showing a pyramid with ONE EYE in the middle of it. Can you UNEQUIVOCALLY say that NONE of you are Satanic?

  84. G.... W....

    Nothing like the yard you grew up in, a single wide with 15 acres in the northern California mountains for me

  85. J.... ....

    I would love to personally thank you for this and all the other songs that are real as hell 🤙me personally I’m on 9 or 10 bad in a row it’s gotta get better soon but until then ima keep rocking the real shit!!!!! Keep the great jams coming Demun🤘

  86. J.... B....

    Middle America...Hollowed out no longer........

  87. M.... C....

    Love this song just makes you sit back and think same with campfire cologne love demun jones music all 🔥🔥

  88. D.... C....

    If this song doesn't sum up life than I don't know what does. Watching the sun rise, drinking coffee and getting ready to put in another long shift, all while jamming out to this good music

  89. S.... S....

    If you disliked this song suck my dick. Sorry if that's a little much but 4k dislikes!? Choke on my cock and balls. All 4k of you.

  90. J.... B....
