Back (feat. Jake Owen)

Back

When life was simple as that

I didn't know I'd miss it so bad

When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back

To mama's home cookin' and dad

Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,

Thinking 'bout those days just

Wish I was

Back

When I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so simple then

Dirt-bike and a fishin' pole at a fishin' hole with all my friends

Nothin' better than a BB gun in my backyard just huntin' squirrels

Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this little girl

Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a talk

I remember like yesterday what he said when we took that walk

"Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth burns"

Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned

And I wanna go

Back

When life was simple as that

I didn't know I'd miss it so bad

When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back

To mama's home cookin' and dad

Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,

Thinking 'bout those days just

Wish I was

Back

I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own

They turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone

My best friend David, he grew up ridin' in that wheelchair

Thought I'd give a million bucks if that old boy was still here

Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade away

They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used to play

That skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back again

I remember those all night skates, very first dates and my old friend

When life was simple as that

I didn't know I'd miss it so bad

Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,

Thinking 'bout those days just

Wish I was

Back

My dad's gettin' older now but son he's still as tough as ever

Him and my little boy are best friends now, wish it could last forever

My mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice

She never ever let me down

God what will I do when she's not around

Back

I didn't know I'd miss it so bad

When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back

To mama's home cookin' and dad

Thinking 'bout those days just

Wish I was
