Tim McGraw Song Lyrics for Back When
Acoustic Demo
Don't you remember ... the fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle ... at ten, two and four
A fried bologna sandwich ... with mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table ... don't happen much anymore
We got ... too complicated ... It's all ... way over-rated
I like the ... old and out-dated ... way of life
Back when a hoe was a hoe ... Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing ... when you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw ... the wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when ... I miss back when ... I miss back when
I love my records ... black and shiny vinyl
Clicks and pops and white noise ... man they sounded fine
I had my favorite stations ... the ones that played them all
Country, soul and rock-and-roll ... what happened to those times?
I'm readin Street Slang For Dummies, cause they put pop in my country
I want ... more for my money ... the way it was back then
Back when a hoe was a hoe ... Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing ... when you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw ... the wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when ... I miss back when ... I miss back when
Break
Give me a ... flat top for strumming, I want the ... whole world to be humming
Oh just keep it coming ... the way it was back then
Back when a hoe was a hoe ... Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing ... when you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw ... the wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when ... I miss back when ... I miss back when
I miss back when ... I miss back when
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin' .. when he was eight years old
Little girl came through the front gate .. holdin' a fishin' pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said, we can't leave her behind
Son, I know you don't want her to go but, someday you'll change your mind
And Johnny said
Take Jimmy Johnson, ... take Tommy Tompson
Take my best friend, Bo
Take anybody that you want as ... long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world ... daddy please, don't take the girl
Same old boy, same sweet girl ... ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in .. front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun ... grabbed her by the arm
Said If you do what I tell you to do ... there won't be any harm
And Johnny said
Take my money, take my wallet ... take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me ... here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl, ... but please don't take the girl
Same old boy ... same sweet girl ... 5 years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she ... says it's time to go
Doctor says the baby's fine ... but you'll have to leave
Cause his momma's fading fast and Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me ... take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me ... make this my last request
Take me out of this world ... God, please don't take the girl
Johnny's daddy ... was taking him fishin .. when he was eight years old
123 like a bird I sing ... cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
Im so glad youre here today ... cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away .. hey
When Im down to my last dollar ... Ive walked right through my shoes
Just a small reminder ... of the hell that Ive gone through
But look at me still smiling ... as Im wondering what Ill do
But since I aint got nothing Ive got nothing to loose
Everybody say ha ha ha ha ... ha ha ha ha
Well my friends are always giving me ... watches hats and wine
Thats how I know this is serious ... thats how I know its time
I dont have to worry ... about things that I dont have
Cause if I aint got nothing ... Ive got nothing to hold me back
123 like a bird I sing ... cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
Im so glad youre here today ... cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away ... Fly away ... Fly away ... Fly away
And theres nothing thats worth keeping me ... from places I should go
From Happyville to Lovinland Im gonna tour from coast to coast
Im leaving everything behind ... theres not much that I need
Cause if I aint got nothing ... Im foot loose and fancy free
123 like a bird I sing ... cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
Im so glad youre here today ... cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away ... Fly away ... Fly away ... Fly away
Look at me so free ... nothings holding me down
Look at me so free ... cant keep my feet on the ground
123 like a bird I sing ... cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
Im so glad youre here today ... cause tomorrow I might have to go and
123 like a bird I sing ... cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
Im so glad youre here today ... cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away ... Fly away ... Fly away ... Fly away
123 like a bird i sing ... cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
123 like a bird i sing ... cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
123 like a bird I sing ... cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
If you're reading this ... my momma is sitting there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
I sure wish I ... could give you one more kiss
War was just a game we played when we were kids
Well Im laying down my gun ... Im hanging up my boots
Im up here with God and were both watching over you
So lay me down ... in that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul ... is where my momma always prayed where it would go
If you're reading this ... Im already home
If you're reading this ... half way around the world
I wont be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you ... I hope she fights like me
And stands up for the innocent ... and the weak
Im laying down my gun ... hanging up my boots
Tell dad I dont regret that id follow in his shoes
So lay me down ... in that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul ... is where my momma always prayed where it would go
If you're reading this ... Im already home
BREAK
If you're reading this ... theres going to come a day
You move on and find someone else and thats okay
Just remember this ... Im in a better place
Soldiers live in peace ... and angels sing amazing grace
So lay me down ... in that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul ... is where my momma always prayed where that it would go
If you're reading this .. if youre reading this ... Im already home
Dancin in the dark ... middle of the night ... takin your heart ... and holdin it tight
Emotional touch ... touchin my skin ... and asking you to do ... what youve been doin all over again
Oh its a beautiful thing ... don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know ... what it is that won't let me go
Its your love ... It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me ... I cant get enough
And if you wonder ... about the spell I'm under
Oh its ... your love
Better than I was ... more than I am ... and all of this happened ... by taking your hand
And who I am now .... is who I wanted to be ... and now that were together ... Im stronger than ever Im happy and free
Oh it's a beautiful thing ... dont think I can keep it all in
If you asked me why I've changed .. all I gotta do is say your sweet name
Its your love ... It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me ... I cant get enough
And if you wonder ... about the spell I'm under
Oh its ... your love ... Baby Oh oh oh
BREAK
Oh its a beautiful thing ... don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know ... what it is that won't let me go
Its your love ... It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me ... I cant get enough
And if you wonder ... about the spell I'm under
Oh its ... your love
Its your love ... its your love ... its your love
He said I was in my early 40s ... with a lot of life before me
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days ... lookin at the x-rays
Talkin bout the options ... and talkin bout sweet time
Asked him when it sank in ... that this might really be the real end
Hows it hit ya ... when you get that kind of news
Man what ya do ... and he says
I went sky divin I went ... rocky mountain climbin
I went 2.7 seconds ... on a bull name Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper and I ... spoke sweeter
And I ... gave forgiveness Ive been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance ... to live like you were dyin
He said I was finally the husband ... that most the time I wasnt
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all the sudden goin fishing ... wasnt such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book ... and I took a good long hard look
At what Id do if I could do it all again ... and then
I went sky divin I went ... rocky mountain climbin
I went 2.7 seconds ... on a bull name Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper and I ... spoke sweeter
And I ... gave forgiveness Ive been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance ... to live like you were dyin
Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
To think about what you do with it ... what could you do with it
What can I do with with it ... what would I do with it
I went sky divin I went ... rocky mountain climbin
I went 2.7 seconds ... on a bull name Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper and I ... spoke sweeter
And I ... gave forgiveness Ive been denying
And he said someday I hope you get the chance ... to live like you were dyin
To live like you were dyin ... to live like you were dyin
To live like you were dyin ... to live like you were dyin
When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me ... way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail ... thats where your journey starts
Youll find better love ... strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs ... warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Just like the waves down by the shore
Were gonna keep on coming back for more ... cause we dont ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you seek
Oh the valleys and the peaks ... and I can see you on the top
Youll find better love ... strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs ... warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Remember me when youre out walkin
When the snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when youre not sleepin
And moonlight falls across your floor ... when I cant hurt you anymore
Youll find better love ... strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs ... warm as the morning sun
Please remember me ... please remember me
It was labor day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the county fair
When I saw her for the first time she was
Standing there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh, a sailers sky made a perfect sunset
And thats the day Ill never forget
I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt she was
Killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Heart dont forget something like that
Well it was five years later on a southbound plane I was
Headed down to New Orleans
To meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras
When I heard a voice from the past
Comin from a few rows back and when I looked
I couldnt believe just what I saw
She said I bet you dont remember me
And I said only every other memory
I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt you were
Killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss and a
Heart dont forget something like that
Break
Like an old photograph .. Time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of a first love ... Never fades away
Repeat 1st Ch
Heart dont forget ... no ... heart dont forget ... I said
Heart dont forget ... something like that
I dont know why I act the way I do
Like I aint got a single thing to lose
Sometimes Im my own worst enemy
I guess thats just the cow-boy in me
I got a life that most would love to have
But sometimes I still wake up fightin mad
At where this road Im heading down might lead
I guess thats just the cow-boy in me
The urge to run the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things Ive done for foolish pride
The me thats never satisfied
The face thats in the mirror when I dont like what I see
I guess thats just the cow-boy in me
BREAK
The urge to run the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things Ive done for foolish pride
The me thats never satisfied
The face thats in the mirror when I dont like what I see
I guess thats just the cow-boy in me
Girl I know theres times you must have thought
There aint a line youve drawn I havent crossed
But you set your mind to see this love on through
I guess thats just the cow-boy in you
We ride and never worry about the fall
I guess thats just the cow-boy in us all
Six lanes ... tail lights ... red ants marchin into the night
They disappear to the left and right again
Another supper ... from a sack ... a 99 cent heart attack
I got a poundin head and an achin back
And the camels standin in a big straw stack
Im gonna live where the greengrass grows ... watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good lords blessed ... point our rockin chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
Well Im from ... a map dot ... a stop sign on a blacktop
I caught the first bus that I could hop from there
But all o this glitter ... is gettin dark ... theres concrete glowin in the city park
I dont know who my neighbors are
And theres bars on the corner ... and bars on my heart
Im gonna live where the green grass grows ... watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good lords blessed ... point our rockin chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
Im gonna live where the greengrass grows ... watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good lords blessed ... point our rockin chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
