Backwards

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 tearstains on his old shirt

And he said you wanna know what you get

When you play a country song backwards

[00:43.55]You get your house back

[00:44.61]You get your dog back

[00:45.55]You get your best friend Jack back

[00:47.45]You get your truck back

[00:48.39]You get your hair back

[00:49.40]You get your first and second wife back

[00:51.58]Your front porch swing

[00:52.52]Your pretty little thing

[00:53.50]Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring

[00:55.39]Your get your farm with a barn

[00:56.33]and a boat and the harley

[00:57.67]First nite in jail with Charlie

Sounds a little crazy,

a little scattered and absurd

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 theres even more

[01:26.65]You get your mind back

[01:27.78]And your nerves back

[01:28.68]Your first heart attack back

[01:30.53]You get your pride back

[01:31.49]You get your life back

[01:32.47]You get your first real love back

[01:34.50]You get your big screen tv, dvd and washing machine

[01:38.41]You get the phone and the lawn and the bed and the mower

[01:40.40]You go back where you don't know her

[01:42.35]It sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd

[01:46.27]But that's what you get

[01:47.79]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 change this C-R-A-P

[02:21.32]
