Backwards

I was sitting on a wooden stool

In a barbecue joint in Tennessee

When this old boy walked in

And he sat right down next to me

I could tell he'd been through some hard times

There were tearstains on his old shirt

And he said you wanna know what you get

When you play a country song backwards

You get your house back

You get your dog back

You get your best friend Jackson back

You get your truck back

You get your hair back

You get your first and second jobs back

Your front porch swing goin' ding aling aling

Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring

Your get your farm with a barn and a boat and the harley

That old black cat named Charlie

Sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd

But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards

Well I never heard it said quite like that

It hit me in the face cause that's where I'm at

I almost fell flat out on the floor

He said wait a minute that's not all there's even more

You get your mind back

And your nerves back

Your achy breaky heart back

You get your pride back

You get your life back

You get your first real love back

You get your big screen TV, DVD and a washing machine

You get the pond and the lawn and the rake and the mower

You go back where life was slower

It sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd

But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards

Oh play that song

We sat there and talked about how it would be

If we could just rewind it all and go back in T-I-M-E...

You get your house back

You get your dog back

You get your best friend Jackson back

You get your truck back

You get your hair back

You get your first and second jobs back

Your front porch swing goin' ding aling aling

Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring

Your get the farm with a barn and a boat and the harley

That old black cat named Charlie

You get your mind back

You get your nerves back

Your achy breaky heart back

You get your pride back

You get your life back

You get your first real love back

You get your big screen TV, DVD and a washing machine

You get the pond and the lawn and the rake and the mower

You go back where life was slower

It sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd

But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
