Backwards
I was sitting on a bar stoolIn a barbecue joint in TennesseeWhen this old boy walked inAnd he sat right down next to meI could tell he'd been through some hard timesThere were tear stains on his old shirtThen he said you wanna know what you getWhen you play a country song backwards
You get your house backYou get your dog backYou get your best friend Jackson backYou get your truck backYou get your hair backYou get your first and second wives backYour front porch swingYour pretty little thingYour bling bling bling and a diamond ringYour get your farm with a barn and a boat and the harleyFirst night in a jail with CharlieSounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurdBut that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
Well I never heard it said quite like thatIt hit me in the face cause that's where I'm atI almost fell flat out on the floorHe said wait a minute that's not all there's even more
You get your mind backAnd your nerves backYour first heart attack backYou get your pride backYou get your life backYou get your first real love backYour big screen tv, dvd and a washing machineYou get the pond and the lawn and the bail and the mowerYou go back where you don't know herIt sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurdBut that's what you getWhen you play a country song backwardsOh play that song
We sat there and shot the bull about how it would beIf we could turn it all around and and change this C-R-A-PYou get your house backYou get your dog backYou get your best friend Jackson backYou get your truck backYou get your hair backYou get your first and second wives backYour front porch swingYour pretty little thingYour bling bling bling and a diamond ringYou get your farm with a barn and a boat and the harleyFirst night in a jail with Charlie
You get your mind backAnd your nerves backYour first heart attack backYou get your pride backYou get your life backYou get your first real love backYour big screen tv, dvd and a washing machineYou get the pond and the lawn and the bail and the mowerYou go back where you don't know herIt sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurdBut that's what you getWhen you play a country song backwards
