Ever wonder what happens when a country song runs in reverse? Here's the lyrics! |
| I was sitting on the porch with a cold Bud Light Thinking ‘bout how nothing’s going right So I took that old cassette and I flipped it around And played a little magic in the backwards sound Suddenly the engine in my Chevy started humming I looked down the road and saw my ex-wife coming She was driving the trailer she took in the split And man, she looked happy... Ha ha! A two-dollar hit! If you play a country song in reverse It’s the only way to break a cowboy’s curse The bank account fills and the sun starts to shine And you’re drinking water instead of the wine Yeah, the dog’s on the porch and the house is all new When the jukebox plays the "Un-Lonesome Blue" That cheatin’ heart starts beating true again She’s walking out the bar and leaving him She’s back in my arms before the first goodbye And the salt of the earth dries the tear in my eye I don’t have to worry when I close my eyes ’Cause the truth is coming back to replace the lies The whiskey jumps back in the bottle on the shelf Heh heh! I’m finally starting to feel like myself That rusted-out Chevy sitting deep in the weeds Suddenly cranks with the power she needs The chrome starts to shine and the engine just purrs And it’s back in my name instead of in hers The gates at the prison start swinging out wide And Mama comes out with a look of pure pride She’s home in the kitchen... Ho ho! By the Sunday bell With a fried chicken dinner and a story to tell The boss calls me up and he’s singing a tune Says "The factory's opening this Monday at noon" I didn't get fired, I got a raise instead With a brand new future and a whole lot of bread Yeah, play it backwards, man! Turn the curse into a plan! Just play it in reverse And get a blessing for a curse! Yee-haw! Look at that dog run! |
