Lookin' Out My Back Door Lyrics

Just got home from Illinois locked the front door oh boy
Got to sit down take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in pretty soon I'm singing doodoodoo lookin' out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels a statue wearing high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
A Dinosaur Victrola listnein' to Buck Owens doodoodoo lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon
A Wonderous Apparition provided by magician doodoodoo lookin' out my back door
[ guitar ]
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon
Bother me tomorrow today I'll buy no sorrows doodoodoo lookin' out my back door
[ steel ]
Just got home from Illinois locked the front door oh boy
Got to sit down take a rest on the porch
Bother me tomorrow today I buy no sorrow doodoodoo lookin' out my back door

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
