I was playin’ it backwards
Just to see if it’s true
Needed my truck and my dog
But I wasn’t sure about you

And I thought “what the hell”
Let’s give it a go
There was no way to tell
Sure was no way to know

Grabbed a couple of cans
Of my favorite brew
Played that song in reverse
Just to see what it’d do

And I’m here to say
And I swear that it’s so
That I got it all back
But I sure wish you’d go

CHORUS

Cause I was playin’ it backwards
Just that old country song
Bout loosing my truck and my dog
And a love oh so strong

I can sure use my truck
And my dog is true blue
But there ain’t no way darlin’
I can tolerate you

_________________________________________________

Yea playin’ it backwards
Well it ain’t all that bad
But loosin’ my dog
Well, hell that made me sad

And walkin’ to town
Just to go get my pay
That sure was a drag
Damn near took me all day

So getting’ my truck
And getting ole’ blue
Well that was just fine
But I didn’t bargain on you

And I’m here to say
And I swear that it’s so
That I got it all back
But I sure wish you’d go

_______________________________________________

CHORUS

Cause I was playin’ it backwards
Just that old country song
Bout loosing my truck and my dog
And a love oh so strong

I can sure use my truck
And my dog is true blue
But there ain’t no way darlin’
I can tolerate you
_______________________________________________

So you might call me crazy
A guy down on his luck
But I’m chaining my dog
To the back of my old truck

Then I’m playin it forward
gonna break this ole’ spell
Keep all my fingers crossed
Then send you back to “wellllll!”

Now I’m playing it forward
Movin’ on from this place
Throw my dog in the truck
And get the hell from this place

Yea, I’m taking my friends
Getting out of this place
Movin’ on down the line
And forgettin your face

Oh yeah I was playing it backwards
