I was sittin? on a bar stool   In a barbecue 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??      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?      Ya get your mind back, your nerves back   Your first heart attack back   You get your pride back, get your life back   And 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, and 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, oh, that's all      We sat there and shot the bull   About how it would be   But 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   And 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, and 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
