Back (feat. Jake Owen)

You know

We get caught up doin' everything

We're not promised tomorrow

Sometimes, you need to close your eyes

And just go back

Yeah, 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

Yeah, back, to mama's home cookin' and dad

Was baitin' my hook and I'm sittin' on a tailgate

Thinkin' '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

Yeah, back, to mama's home cookin' and dad

Was baitin' my hook and I'm sittin' on a tailgate

Thinkin' 'bout those days

Just wish I was back

I remember that Texaco

That Mr. Logan used to own

They turned it in to somethin' 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 if 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 us back again

I remember those all night skates

Very first dates and my old friend

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

Yeah, back, to mama's home cookin' and dad

Was baitin' my hook and I'm sittin' on a tailgate

Thinkin' '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's 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, 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

Yeah, back, to mama's home cookin' and dad

Was baitin' my hook and I'm sittin' on a tailgate

Thinkin' 'bout those days

Just wish I was

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

Yeah, back, to mama's home cookin' and dad

Was baitin' my hook and I'm
