Colt Ford & Jake Owen - "Back"

Back
When life simple as that
I didn't know I missed it so bad
when this whole world had
way less worries, nobody in a hurry
Back
To mama's home cookin and dad
was baiting' my hook
And I'm sitting' on a tailgate
thinking' about those days
Just wish I was
Back

When I think about how I used To Be
Lord, It was so simple then
Dirt bike and a fishing pole
and a fishing hole with all my friends
nothing better than a bb gun in my backyard
just hunting' squrils
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
every day my mind goes back to all those
lessons learned and my mind wants to go

Back
When life simple as that
I didn't know I missed it so bad
when this whole world had
way less worries, nobody in a hurry, yeah
Back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
was baiting my hook
And I'm sitting' on a tailgate
thinking' about those days
Just wish I was
Back

I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own
They turned it into something else and Mr. Logan's long gone
My best friend David, he grew up riding in a wheel chair
But I'd give a million bucks if that ole 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 rink closed down but now I see it's back again
I remember those all night skates, very first dates and old friends

Back
When life simple as that
I didn't know I missed it so bad
when this whole world had
way less worries, nobody in a hurry, yeah
Back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
was baiting' my hook
And I'm sitting' on a tailgate
thinking' about those days
Just wish I was
Back

(Instrumental)

My dad's getting older now But son, he's still as tough as ever
he and my little boy are best friends now I wish it could last forever
My mama's still the one I talk to when I need advice
God what will I do when she's not around…

Back
When life simple as that
I didn't know I missed it so bad
when this whole world had
way less worries, nobody in a hurry, yeah
Back
To mama's home cookin and dad
was baiting' my hook
And I'm sitting' on a tailgate
thinking' about those days
Just wish I was
Back

(fade)
When life simple as that
I didn't know I missed it so bad
when this whole world had
way less worries, nobody in a hurry
Back
To mama's home cookin and dad
was baiting' my hook
And I'm sitting' on a tailgate
thinking' about those days
Just wish I was
