Back Then Right Now

Back then right now

Back when that blacktop was just a gravel road

Back when that Walmart was just a fishin' hole

Back when my ol' guitar had some brand-new strings

Yes, it did

Back when a work truck was just a stick shift

Back when you took a pic and didn't have to post it

Back when a Baptist church was where we learned to sing

Yeah, we did

I could use some 'back then' right now

'98 Chevy with the tailgate down

FM only with the gold up loud

Burnin' up the night

Innocent and wild

I could use a little more wide-open

Back when all I wanted was the hand I was holdin'

Livin' in the moment

With the good-time crowd

Makin' life count

Damn, I could use a little more 'back then' right now

'Back then' right now

Back when a 'How ya been?' came through a phone call

Back when a pastime was watchin' baseball

Yeah, back when politics, it wasn't table talk

Back when you had a fight, you could just walk it off

I could use some 'back then' right now

'98 Chevy with the tailgate down

FM only with the gold up loud

Burnin' up the night

Innocent and wild

I could use a little more wide-open

Back when all I wanted was the hand I was holdin'

Livin' in the moment

With the good-time crowd

Makin' life count

Damn, I could use a little more 'back then' right now

'Back then' right now

Back then, it was simple, it was slow

We didn't worry 'bout what we didn't know

I could use some 'back then' right now

'98 Chevy with the tailgate down

FM only with the gold up loud

Burnin' up the night

Innocent and wild

I could use a little more wide-open

Back when all I wanted was the hand I was holdin'

Livin' in the moment

With the good-time crowd

Makin' life count

Damn, I could use a little more 'back then' right now

'Back then,' 'back then,' 'back then' right now

Yeah, 'back then' right now

'Back then,' 'back then,' 'back then' right now

Just a little more 'back then' now
