 I was sitting on a bar stool in a barbecue joint in Tennessee 
 F                           C                       D       D
 When this ole boy walked in and he sat right down next to me 
 Em                                  C    F   C
 I could tell he’d been through some hard Times 
 Em                               C    F   C
 There were tearstains on his old shirt 
 F                                            C             
 And he said "ya wanna know what ya get   -   when you play 
                   G
 a country song backwards?" 
 
 CHORUS 1 
 G
 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 
 C
 Your front porch swing, your pretty little thing, 
 your bling bling bling and a diamond ring, 
 G
 Your get your farm and a barn and the boat and 
 the Harley First night in jail with Charlie 
 
 POST CHORUS: 
 D
 It sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd 
 G      CUT                                           G  
 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 
   C                                           D
 I almost fell flat out on the floor He said "Wait a minute, 
 that’s not all There's even more" 
 
 CHORUS 2:
 G
 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 
 C
 You get your big screen TV, a dvd and a washing machine 
 G
 You get the pond and the lawn, the bail and the mower, 
 you get to go back where you, don’t know her
