Rascal Flatts - Backwards Lyrics

I was sittin’ on a bar stool in a barbeque joint in Tennessee 
When this ole 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 ya get when you play a country song backwards?” 

Chorus 

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 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 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 a 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 

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 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 boat and the Harley 
First night in jail with Charlie 
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 a 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
