Mow Your Own Lawn

Verse 1

Morning breaks on a dew-soaked yard

Shoes by the back door caked and scarred

List of chores posted near the sink

Coffee cooling as I try to think

Pre-Chorus

Got to start before the heat takes hold

Every summer, the story's retold

Chorus

Out the door with the engine loud

Rows to follow, standing proud

Something quiet in this routine dawn

Time to mow your own lawn

Chorus

Mow your own lawn

You got to push that line and carry on

Grass keeps growing even when I’m gone

Mow your own lawn

Verse 2

Sun is shining and the blades are green

Neighbors watching from behind their screens

Patches wild where the mower’s missed

Shoes covered in a muddy twist

Pre-Chorus

There’s no way to skip the chore

Find your rhythm in the roar

Chorus

Mow your own lawn

You got to push that line and carry on

Grass keeps growing even when I’m gone

Mow your own lawn

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Ah ah oh oh

Bridge

Dust on my hands and a sunburned brow

Cutting corners, but I can’t stop now

Easy to leave it for another day

But the wild things have their way

Chorus

Mow your own lawn

You got to push that line and carry on

Grass keeps growing even when I’m gone

Mow your own lawn

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Ah ah oh oh

Verse 3

Lines circle round as the daylight falls

Bag of clippings and another stall

Thinking back to younger days

Simple work in a sunlit haze

Pre-Chorus

Every summer has its cost

Hours found that might be lost

Chorus

Mow your own lawn

Keep on steady till the job is done

Seasons change and grass moves on

Mow your own lawn

Post-Chorus

Mmm mmm oh oh

Yeah yeah oh oh

Bridge 2

Evening breeze and the motor hums

Faint smell of earth and the silence comes

Tired arms but the work is clear

There's a comfort in the wear and tear

Chorus

Mow your own lawn

Let the daylight fade and carry on

Every line tells how far you've gone

Mow your own lawn

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Ah ah oh oh

Outro Verse

Streetlights flicker as the mower cools

Memory lingers in the smell of fuel

Footsteps echo up the gravel drive

Simple labor just to feel alive

Outro Chorus

Mow your own lawn

In the quiet dusk, it won’t be long

Finding peace in what you’ve done

Mow your own lawn

Outro Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Ah ah oh oh
