Take Me Back (feat. Demun Jones & Craig Campbell)

Take me back to them Cotton fields and barb wired fences All the things that I'm missin' Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin' Hit the river and take a dip And I don't know why I wanted to leave Something that means so much to me I guess it's what it took for me to see No matter where I roam the only place I call home Is in the country Way out in the country Huntin', fishin', that's just how we lived In homes, valley back to my beginin' Learn the skill of skinin' Scufflin' by filled with thorns We was hidin' in a farm Pond filled with snakes and gators we was divin' in Ain't nothin' to a country boy Only fear the good Lord and a mama, boy Drive big trucks like a Tonka toy You know them country girls to love a country boy We can get litty on outside of the city Dance in front of the lights on an F250 Windows down crankin' Conway Twitty Takin' me back to them Cotton fields and barb wired fences All the things that I'm missin' Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin' Hit the river and take a dip And I don't know why I wanted to leave Something that means so much to me I guess it's what it took for me to see No matter where I roam the only place I call home Is in the country Let me get the picture real quick So maybe y'all will understand Where I grew up on that family land Papa passed it down to my old man Now that's where he rocks Back and forth on that front porch Hoo owl off in the distance Moonlight bright as a tiki torch Bonfires and some stinky weed Moonshine and old oak trees Fish jumpin' up out the creek Honey suckles and bumble bees This is my place (My place) This is my home (My home) No matter I go take me, take me, take me, take me Take me back to them Cotton fields and barb wired fences All the things that I'm missin' Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin' Hit the river and take a dip And I don't know why I wanted to leave Something that means so much to me I guess it's what it took for me to see No matter where I roam the only place I call home Is in the country Y'all know 'bout where I was raised Where we pay respects and say grace The name chiseled on local tombs and graves Jones County the place where I was saved A book of sentences I've written for miles Like scripture since I was a child Pops laid block but for hours A strong foundation to stand up on and climb Each breath taken I could feel the light Shinin' the songs I sing way back in the pines The memories made always outlast the pain The hourglass drains, I count the grain Lookin' back now I stop and think How long it'll last, gone in a blink A kid raised up Just swim and never sink Lord take me, take me Take me back to them Cotton fields and barb wired fences All the things that I'm missin' Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin' Hit the river and take a dip And I don't know why I wanted to leave Something that means so much to me I guess it's what it took for me to see No matter where I roam the only place I call home Is in the country
