I was sitting 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 tearstains 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
Your front porch swing
Your pretty little thing
Your get your farm and a barn and the boat And the harley
First night in jail with Charlie
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
You get your big screen tv,
A dvd and a washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn
The bail and the mower
It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that?s what you get
When you play a country song backwards
Instrumental Break (Chords)
Individual Notes
VERSE 3
We sat there and shot the bull
About how it would be
If we could turn it all around
Ya get your house back
Ya get your dog back Ya get your best friend Jack back
Your front porch swing
Your pretty little thing
Your get your farm and a barn
And the boat And the harley
You get your big screen tv,
A dvd and a washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn
The bail and the mower
It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that?s what you get
When you play a country song backwards!
