About

Singer Liz Hopkins recently got engaged in her beloved, much-tended garden. This song emerged in reaction to that happy event, our now-independent band’s return to its muse, and a hope that we can all get back to the places – physical and spiritual – that make us feel centered, healthy, creative, an...

Back to the Garden Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wasn't built for the hustle
I gotta take my time
Some work ain't about the muscle
It's about doing it right
Some people try to keep me distracted
But I only got one life
I gotta put my seeds in the good earth
If I'm gonna watch the flowers rise
Baby, won't you open my eyes?

[Chorus]
I gotta get back to the garden
Got to get back to my own dreams
I gotta get back to the garden
Take care of the world that's taking care of me

[Verse 2]
I wasn't looking for the gold rush
I was trying to follow the stars
Talk about money, baby, too much
That path'll rot your heart
We only get this love for a lifetime
Oh, we gotta soak it in
So open every door, open every window
If you wanna let the sunshine in
Baby, I know where to begin

[Chorus]
Gotta get back to the garden
Gotta get back to my own dreams
Gotta get back to the garden
Take care of the world that's taking care of me
Gotta get back to the garden
Gotta get back to my own dreams
Gotta get back to the garden
Take care of the world that's taking care of me

[Bridge]
(Living too fast, can we slow down?)
I gotta get back to the
(Living too fast, can we slow down?)
I gotta get back to the garden
(Living too fast, can we slow down?)
Ooh
(Living too fast, can we slow down?)
I gotta get back to the garden
(Living too fast, can we slow down?)
I gotta get back to my own dreams, I gotta get back to the garden
(Living too fast, can we slow down?)
I gotta back to the sun and the rain and the joy and the pain and the freedom

[Chorus]
Gotta get back to the garden
Gotta get back to my own dreams
I gotta get back to the garden
Take care of the world that's taking care of me
I gotta get back to the garden
Gotta get back to my own dreams
I gotta get back to the garden
Take care of the world that's taking care of me
I gotta get back to the garden
Gotta get back to my own dreams
I gotta get back to the garden
Take care of the world that's taking care of me

[Outro]
(Back to the garden)
Hey, ooh
(Back to the garden)
Oh, I gotta get back
(Back to the garden)
Hey, hey, you know I gotta get back
(Back to the garden)
Sun and the rain, joy and the pain
(Back to the garden)
You know I gotta get back, hmm
(Back to the garden)
