Tribute to Jimmy; Paradise in Our Backyard

Crows and corn chips, Squirrels and beer sips… Lazy hammock and Hemming-way, our rabbits mowing the grass today... A nap under the advancing stars, A Paradise in our Backyard! Raccoons love the chicken bones, everynight, a fox visits our home, Fish guts and crab-leg shells, opossum out there giving-‘em-Hell, Casting corn and some bird seed, for Mother Nature everything she needs, God’s aces and a Wild Card! A Paradise in our Backyard! Ohhh! In summer a Bar-be-que, and you the prettiest girl I ever Knew! Couple ‘o kids and a swimming pool, mini-van and Cadillac-cool, Love the beaches and mountains, of Carolina and my country-kin, Wouldn’t trade it for the whole of Mars, A Paradise in our Backyard! You and me under the stars, our home, children and a dream of ours, Leo, Virgo, Aries and Mars, I thank the Lord for your tender heart. Our life amazing, though a, rough start, A Paradise in our Backyard! Oo-oh -a paradise in our Backyard! You and me under the stars, Our home and children; a dream of ours, Leo, Virgo, Aries and Mars, I thank the Lord for your tender heart... ...a Paradise in our Backyard! Some people say it’s just a yard, ...this paradise under the stars, Leo, Virgo, Aries and Mars, you, me, children of ours. Our home, children, a dream of ours, I thank you Jesus for your tender heart; Paradise in our Backyard! A Paradise in our Backyard! Oooh -a paradise in our Backyard! You and me under the stars, Our home and children a dream of ours, Leo and Virgo, Aries and Mars, A Paradise in our Backyard! Praise Jesus and NAS-CAR! You and me under the stars, our home and children a dream of ours, Leo and Virgo, Aries and Mars, some people say it’s just a yard? You and me under the stars -and a Paradise in our Backyard! *A Paradise in our Backyard! A Paradise in our Backyard! A Paradise in our Backyard!* <musical break> I love you, heaven: Hea Anna
