Backwards

Backwards

I was sitiin` on a bar stool
At a barbecue joint in tennessee
When this old boy wañked in
And he sat righy down next to me

I could tell he`d been through some hard times there weretear
stains on his old shirt
And he said, ``toy wanna know what you get
When you play a country song backwards?``

You get your hourse back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend jack back
You get your truck back

You get your hair black
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, and the barn
And the bout, and the harley
First night in jail with Charlie

It 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 him 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
You get 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
You get your big screen tv, a 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

We sat there and shot the bull
About how it would be
If we could turn it all around
And change this c-r-a-p

You get your hourse back
You get your gog back
You get your best friend jack back
You get your truck back

You get your hair black
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, and the barn
And the bout, and the harley
First night in jail with Charlie
You get your mind back

Your nerves back
Your firs heart attack back
You get your pride back
You get your life back

You get your first real llove back
You get your big screen tv, a 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
