[Verse 1 – half-sung, half-spoken, casual] First warm day, garage door rolls up slow Forty degrees feels like Mexico Salt still stuck in the cracks of the drive But we’re outside like we just came alive Got the mower out, haven’t touched the blade Gas can’s full but it’s just a charade Neighbor waves, yeah I nod like I should “Just some yard work”—man, it smells too good [Pre-Chorus – melodic lift] Said I’d quit when the snow came down But the thaw hit hard when the sun came ‘round [Chorus – big, catchy, layered vocals] Indica, sativa, hybrid in between Smoke drifting slow through Lake Orion green Yeah we rake, yeah we mow, yeah we walk that dog But we’re just out back turning time to fog Blunts in the breeze, joints in the sun Spring came back and we’re back to one If you ask what we’re doing—“just yard work” clean Indica, sativa, hybrid in between [Verse 2 – playful, more energy] Rake in my hand but I ain’t touched leaves Same pile sitting there since last week Dog’s on a loop, same block, same route Takes ten minutes but we stretch it to two hours out Got a hoodie on, still see my breath But we laugh like we cheated death Winter tried but it couldn’t win Now the whole damn crew back outside again [Pre-Chorus – repeat with variation] Swore it off when the lake froze tight Now the sun says everything’s alright [Chorus – fuller, add harmonies] Indica, sativa, hybrid in between Smoke drifting slow through Lake Orion green Yeah we rake, yeah we mow, yeah we walk that dog But we’re just out back turning time to fog Blunts in the breeze, joints in the sun Spring came back and we’re back to one If you ask what we’re doing—“just yard work” clean Indica, sativa, hybrid in between [Bridge – slightly dreamy, slower] Snow melt running down the street Same old crew, same heartbeat All winter long we stayed inside Now we’re back where the air feels right [Break – whispered, layered] “Just cutting grass…” “Yeah… trimming edges…” “…taking the dog out…” [Final Chorus – biggest, anthemic] Indica, sativa, hybrid in between Whole town waking up in shades of green Yeah we rake, yeah we mow, yeah we walk that dog But we’re just out back turning time to fog Blunts in the breeze, joints in the sun Spring came back and we’re not done If you ask what we’re doing—“just yard work” clean Indica, sativa, hybrid in between [Outro – fade, casual] Garage door down but we’ll be back soon Same excuse tomorrow afternoon
