Backyard Buzzard Buddies Lyrics

Every summer by the oak tree shade

Two old buzzards in the heat parade

Were sippin' on beer from a rusty old cooler

Talkin' 'bout the past when life was the ruler

Backyard buzzard buddies sittin' in the shade

Tellin' tall tales 'til the day was made

Gnarly old friends with a bond so true

Just a couple of clowns on this patio zoo

They'd squawk and laugh swap the same old stories

How they wrangled up women and chased silly glories

From first grade to gray they stuck like glue

Two crusty old buzzards with nothin' else to do

But then one morning the buzzard calls stopped

A beer sat unopened a lawn chair was propped

Seems one flew the coop and left the other behind

Now the backyard's empty and the world feels unkind

Backyard Buzzard Buddies sittin' in the shade

Tellin' tall tales 'til the day was made

Gnarly old friends with a bond so true

Now only one left on this patio zoo

But one day a truck pulled up next door

With a young fella grinnin' and a "Howdy" galore

Moved into the house where the older buzzard stayed

And suddenly life didn't seem so gray!

This young buzzard taught him about phones and apps

Tried yoga once but it gave him the cramps

They laughed like fools different as can be

But a buzzard's a buzzard in good company!

Backyard buzzard buddies sittin' in the sun

A new friend made and the laughs rolled on

Young or old they found something true

A brand-new pair on this patio zoo

Years rolled by just as they always do

The other older buzzard said goodbye too

But in the backyard under that tree

Younger buzzard laughs at all the memories!

He cracks a cold one raises it high

"Here's to the old buzzards who taught me to fly!"

And though they're both gone their spirit remains

In the summer sun where love and laughter reigns!
