Lyrics

[Verse]
Smoke's a-blowin' from the grill out back,
Friends are gatherin', it's a full-on pack,
Cornbread and ribs with a sweet glaze shine,
Lawn games are goin', everything's just fine.
[Verse 2]
Banjo's pickin' while the fiddle joins in,
Accordion's squeeze box, beard-strokin' grin,
Mandolin's a-chimmin' in the summer heat,
Together we're jammin' to a rhythmic beat.
[Chorus]
Backyard barbecue, we're havin' some fun,
Sippin' cold beers, watchin' the sun,
Chewin' on stories from long ago,
With my lady, dancin' slow.
[Verse 3]
Kids are laughin', chasin' fireflies,
Skies turn golden as daylight dies,
Old folks talkin' 'bout the good old days,
Youngsters smilin', catchin' their ways.
[Verse 4]
Fire pit's cracklin', guitars come out,
Vocals rise up, ain't no doubt,
Harmony echoes through the night,
Stars above us, shinin' bright.

[Bridge]
My lady by my side, her laughter light,
Holding her close in the moon's soft light,
With the band playing, hearts beatin' true,
In this sweet ole' backyard barbecue.
