I was sitting on a bar stool,

In a barbecue joint in Tennessee.

When this old boy walked in

an 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 "You wanna know wat you get

When you play a country song backwards?"

You get your house back,

you get your dog back,

you get your best friend Jack back.

You get your truck back

You get your hair back

You get your first & second wifes 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 charley.

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."

You get your mind back and your nerves back.

Your first heart attack back

You get your pride back

you get your life back

Get your first real love back

You get your big screen TV

DVD and a washing machine

You get your pond and the lawn and the bail and the mower

You go back where you don't know 'er

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 turned it all around and changed this

C-R-A-P

You get your house back

you get your dog back

You get your best friend Jack back

You get your truck back

You get your hair back

Get your first and second wifes 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 boat and the harley

First night in jail with charley

You get your mind back and your nerves back

Your first heart attack back

You get your pride back

You get your life back

Get your first real love back

You get your big screen TV

DVD and a washing machine

You get your pond and the lawn and the bail and the mower

You go back where you don't know 'er

It sounds a little crazy

A little scattered and absurd

But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
