Backwards lyrics

I was sitting on a bar 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 tear stains on his old shirt

Then 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 wives back

Your front porch swing

Your pretty little thing

Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring

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

First night in a jail with 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 first heart attack back

You get your pride back

You get your life back

You get your first real love back

Your big screen tv, dvd and a washing machine

You get the pond and the lawn and the bail and the mower

You go back where you don't know her

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 shot the bull about how it would be

If we could turn it all around and and change this C-R-A-P

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 wives back

Your front porch swing

Your pretty little thing

Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring

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

First night in a jail with Charlie

You get your mind back

And your nerves back

Your first heart attack back

You get your pride back

You get your life back

You get your first real love back

Your big screen tv, dvd and a washing machine

You get the pond and the lawn and the bail and the mower

You go back where you don't know her

It sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd

But that's what you get

When you play a country song backwards
