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
