Back Songtext
von Alan Jackson

Tomatoes on the vine, elderberry wine
Last week′s clothes dryin' on the line
Momma in the kitchen, daddy down the hall
Bourbon on the table, Jesus on the wall

Front porch, back porch, crickets in the trees
Plowin′ up the garden, puttin' down the seed
Build a little scarecrow, stringin' up the beans
Prayin′ for the sunshine, pullin′ up the weeds

Back, I'm bringin′ country back
Back where it belongs, back on track
I think ol' Hank would like it like that
I got my boots, I got my hat
I′m bringin' country back

Pickup truck, four-wheel drive
Catfish dinner on a Saturday night
Shirt tail in Sunday, dinner on the ground
Back in time for football, pour another round


Back, I′m bringin' country back
Back where it belongs, back on track
Yeah, I think ol' Hank would like it like that
I got my boots, I got my hat
Lord, I′m bringin′ country back

Two-step, three-step, dancin' in line
Gas up that old John Deere, take her for a ride
Cruisin′ 'round the court square every Friday night
Ride out in the country, see the lightnin′ bugs light

Find a little June bug, tie him on a string
Fly him in a circle 'til your head begins to swing
Patch an old tire tube, float it down the stream
Blue jeans, prom queens, homemade ice cream

Back, I′m bringin' country back
Back where it belongs, back on track
Yeah, I think ol' Hank would like it like that
I got my boots, I got my hat
I′m bringin′ country back

Strum a little guitar, pick an old song
Grandma on the banjo, family sings along
Baby makes the cornbread, sister makes the tea
Dance a little jig 'round the kitchen with me


Back, I′m bringin' country back
Back where it belongs, back on track
Yeah, I think ol′ Hank would like it like that
I got my boots, I got my hat
Lord, I'm bringin′ country back

Fishin' in a Jon boat, giggin' in the dark
Eatin′ watermelon on a table in the yard
Chicken in a brown bag, picnic in the park
Draggin′ up the hay bales, stack 'em in the barn you all

Songs about heartbreak, pair of swingin′ doors
Ridin' on the tailgate, sawdust on the floors
Jukebox, tater tots, prayin′ on our knees
Andy on the TV, lovin' on Aunt Bee

Back, yeah, I′m bringin' country back
Back where it belongs, back on track
Yeah, I think ol' Hank would like it like that
I got my boots, I got my hat
I′m bringin′ country back

Workin' for a livin′, proud to pay the man
Wake up every mornin' happy that we can
Yes sir, yes ma′am, stand up for the flag
Thank the Lord in Heaven for the freedom that we have

Back, yeah, I'm bringin′ country back
Back where it belongs, back on track
Yeah, I think ol' Hank would like it like that
I got my boots, I got my hat
I'm bringin′ country back

(Ooh, yeah)
