(Verse 1)
Sun comes up, boots hit the ground,
Mower hum’s the only sound,
Steel and grass, that morning dew,
Got a whole green world to cut right through.
Kids’ll play here come Saturday,
So I’ll make sure it’s trimmed and laid,
Straight lines like a painter’s hand,
Pride in every acre of this land.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m cuttin’ grass and keepin’ time,
City Parks and mowed straight lines,
Ain’t no fame, but it feels just fine,
To see that field shine under the skyline.
From the bayou edge to the old oak tree,
This is where my heart breathes free,
Workin’ hard, that’s who I’ll be —
City Parks and Recreation, that’s me.
(Verse 2)
Sweat and sun, but I don’t mind,
There’s peace in the pattern I leave behind.
Blades spinin’ like a song on repeat,
Turnin’ wild ground into something neat.
Folks drive by, don’t always see,
What this green means to a man like me,
But I see families laughin’ loud,
And that right there makes a mower proud.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m cuttin’ grass and keepin’ time,
City Parks and mowed straight lines,
Ain’t no fame, but it feels just fine,
To see that field shine under the skyline.
From the bayou edge to the old oak tree,
This is where my heart breathes free,
Workin’ hard, that’s who I’ll be —
City Parks and Recreation, that’s me.
(Bridge)
From sunrise burn to sunset glow,
I’ve seen this town from the seat I know,
Where the engine hum is my old friend,
And the day starts fresh again.
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, I’m cuttin’ grass and keepin’ time,
City Parks and mowed straight lines,
Ain’t no crown, but it feels divine,
To take care of what’s yours and mine.
From the bayou edge to the old oak tree,
This is where my soul breathes free,
Workin’ hard, that’s who I’ll be —
City Parks and Recreation, that’s me.
(Tag)
Yeah, City Parks and Recreation…
That’s me. 🌿
