I was sittin' on a bar stool
In a barbeque 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
And he said Ya wanna know what you get
When you play a country song backwards?
Ya get your house back
Ya get your dog back
Ya get your best friend Jack back
Ya get your truck back
Ya get your hair back
Ya get your first and second wife back
Your front porch swing,
Your pretty little thing
Your bling, bling, bling, and a diamond ring
Your get your farm and the barn and the boat 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 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
Chorus
Ya get your mind back,
Your nerves back
Your first heart attack back
You get your pride back,
Get your life back
You get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV
A DVD and washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn
The bail and the mower
You get to 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
Repeat choruses
Fade
