Song Description

Wanted to have some fun with that old joke about what happens when you play a country song backwards. Upbeat and fun. Live version has a few "different" lyirics.

Lyrics

"Livin' In A Backwards Country Song"
C. Mezzino/T. Reifel (C) 2004

Well, my wife came back, my dog ain't dead
I got no thoughts of cheatin' runnin' 'round my head
I ain't been drunk in over a year
'Cause I drink iced tea instead of ice cold beer
My friends all ask me what the heck went wrong
I said I'm livin' in a backwards country song

I got a good job and I work real hard
I got a platinum VISA, not a food-stamp card
I got good credit at the Five-and-Dime
And I don't have to stand in a welfare line
The sun is shinin' all day long
'Cause I'm livin' in a backwards country song

CHORUS
When I play a country song in reverse
It seems to take away my redneck curse
I can go out to eat, no more TV trays
And everything always seems to go my way
I live in a house, I got a little pride
'Cause I finally moved out of that double-wide
I got a new truck and it runs real strong
'Cause I'm livin' in a backwards country song

I got all my teeth and all my hair
And everyday I have clean clothes to wear
The grass is cut, my bills are paid
And the house is picked up, 'cause I got a good maid
I get along fine with my mother-in-law
'Cause I'm livin' in a backwards country song

CHORUS
When I play a country song in reverse
It seems to take away my redneck curse
I can go out to eat, no more TV trays
And everything always seems to go my way
I live in a house, I got a little pride
'Cause I finally moved out of that double-wide
I got a new truck and it runs real strong
'Cause I'm livin' in a backwards country song

Yeah, I got a new truck, and it runs real strong
'Cause I'm livin' in a backwards country song
