Backwards (From "Hannah Montana: The Movie")

I was sitting on a wooden stool
In a barbecue joint in Tennessee
When this old boy walked in
And he sat down next to me

I could tell he'd been through some hard times
'Cause, there were tear stains on his old shirt
Then he said, you wanna know what you get
When you play a country song backwards?

You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend, Jackson, back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
You get your first and second jobs back

Your front porch swing
Going ding, a ling, a ling
Your bling, bling, bling and a diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn
And the boat and the Harley
The old black cat named Charlie

It sounds a little crazy
A little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards

Well, I never heard it said quite like that
It hit me in the face
'Cause, that's where I'm at
I almost fell flat out on the floor
He said, wait a minute, that's not all
There's even more

You get your mind back
You get your nerves back
You get your achy break heart back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
You get your first real love back

Your big screen TV, a DVD
And a washing machine
You get your pond and the lawn
The breaker and the mower
You go back to when life was slower

It sounds a little crazy (a little crazy)
A little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
Oh, play that song
Woo

We sat there and talked
About how it would be
If we could just rewind it all
And go back T-I-M-E

You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend, Jackson, back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
You get your first and second jobs back

Your front porch swing
Going ding, a ling, a ling
Your bling, bling, bling and a diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn
And the boat and the Harley
And the old black cat named Charlie (yeah, yeah)

You get your mind back
You get your nerves back
Your achy break heart back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
You get your first real love back

Your big screen TV, a DVD
And a washing machine
You get your pond and the lawn
The breaker and the mower
You go back to where life was slower

It sounds a little crazy (a little crazy)
A little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards (wards)
