 INTRO
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
 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
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
 Your first heart attack back
 You get your pride back,
 You 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

Individual  Notes
We  sat there and shot the bull
 About how it would be
If we  could turn it all  around
 And change this -R--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
Your  get your farm and a 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,
 You 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!
