about

An obvious ode to the Beach Boys, Jeff wrote this song about his younger days growing up in Anaheim near the stadium. Besides Ryan's guitar, Jeff played a 12 string Rickenbacker and did several takes on an acoustic guitar to get the jingly tone he was looking for.

lyrics

Remember when we used to play
By the stadium
Remember when we used to say
I hope it never ends

I go out every Friday night
And I'd try to pimp some beer
Everyone was feeling tight
You know they never had no fear

It was Backyard glory
You never know just what the story is
Backyard glory
Too bad we'll never be kids again

Remember when we used to roll
Up to Hollywood
Remember when we duck and strolled
Don't want to let it end

I'd go out every Saturday
And I'd never be alone
Bad guys new me and they left me alone
You know I never had to know

It was Backyard glory
You never know just what the story is
Backyard glory
Too bad we'll never be kids again
