Lyrics:
Yeah
My yard needs water when it gets hotter
Believe these dry days that I water that way
But we want lawns to survive
Concrete just won’t fly
So I say, I water that way
Tell me why?
Don’t water when it’s rainin
Tell me why?
Don’t water when it’s windy
Tell me why?
Don’t let your water wash away
I water that way
Am I, doin this right?
I’m watering at night
This seems right
I water that way
Tell me why?
Don’t water in the daytime
Tell me why?
Don’t water in the sunshine
Tell me why?
Don’t let it all evaporate
I water that way
Now I can see that you’ve taken to heart
The watering rules baby (Yeah)
So stop wasting water
Start doing your part
The future is in your hands!
You can save water
As it gets hotter
So dry (so dry, so dry, so dry)
What’s ColoradoScape?!
More climate friendly landscapes
More plants that like it in our state (You know we’re not Kentucky, no)
Drought-friendly never felt so great (Oh no)
I water that way
Tell me why?
Don’t water more than three days
In a week!
Don’t water from 10 a.m.
To 6 p.m.
Somebody tell the HOA (forgot the HOA…)
I water that way
Tell me why?
You live in Colorado
You want it to be habitable
Tell me why?
I only want to hear you say
I water that way
Cuz I water it that way
