Take Me Back

[00:06.25] Take me back to them
[00:09.15] Cotton fields and barb wired fences
[00:10.63] All the things that I'm missin'
[00:12.77] Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
[00:14.59] Hit the river and take a dip
[00:16.60] And I don't know why I wanted to leave
[00:18.75] Something that means so much to me
[00:20.81] I guess it's what it took for me to see
[00:23.18] No matter where I roam the only place I call home
[00:27.07] Is in the country
[00:34.28] Way out in the country
[00:36.38] Huntin', fishin', that's just how we lived
[00:37.84] In homes, valley back to my beginin'
[00:40.20] Learn the skill of skinin'
[00:42.03] Scufflin' by filled with thorns
[00:44.10] We was hidin' in a farm
[00:46.72] Pond filled with snakes and gators we was divin' in
[00:50.64] Ain't nothin' to a country boy
[00:52.14] Only fear the good Lord and a mama, boy
[00:53.94] Drive big trucks like a Tonka toy
[00:56.01] You know them country girls to love a country boy
[00:58.67] We can get litty on outside of the city
[01:00.28] Dance in front of the lights on an F250
[01:02.37] Windows down crankin' Conway Twitty
[01:04.70] Takin' me back to them
[01:07.07] Cotton fields and barb wired fences
[01:08.56] All the things that I'm missin'
[01:10.69] Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
[01:12.75] Hit the river and take a dip
[01:15.02] And I don't know why I wanted to leave
[01:16.82] Something that means so much to me
[01:18.98] I guess it's what it took for me to see
[01:22.87] No matter where I roam the only place I call home
[01:28.85] Is in the country
[01:31.77] Let me get the picture real quick
[01:33.25] So maybe y'all will understand
[01:35.65] Where I grew up on that family land
[01:37.20] Papa passed it down to my old man
[01:39.57] Now that's where he rocks
[01:41.92] Back and forth on that front porch
[01:43.78] Hoo owl off in the distance
[01:46.04] Moonlight bright as a tiki torch
[01:47.69] Bonfires and some stinky weed
[01:49.92] Moonshine and old oak trees
[01:52.34] Fish jumpin' up out the creek
[01:54.12] Honey suckles and bumble bees
[01:56.12] This is my place (My place)
[01:58.27] This is my home (My home)
[02:00.36] No matter I go take me, take me, take me, take me
[02:02.95] Take me back to them
[02:04.51] Cotton fields and barb wired fences
[02:06.58] All the things that I'm missin'
[02:08.62] Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
[02:10.80] Hit the river and take a dip
[02:12.53] And I don't know why I wanted to leave
[02:14.62] Something that means so much to me
[02:16.78] I guess it's what it took for me to see
[02:21.00] No matter where I roam the only place I call home
[02:26.81] Is in the country
[02:29.41] Y'all know 'bout where I was raised
[02:31.02] Where we pay respects and say grace
[02:33.33] The name chiseled on local tombs and graves
[02:35.11] Jones County the place where I was saved
[02:37.10] A book of sentences I've written for miles
[02:39.36] Like scripture since I was a child
[02:41.46] Pops laid block but for hours
[02:43.54] A strong foundation to stand up on and climb
[02:45.81] Each breath taken I could feel the light
[02:47.77] Shinin' the songs I sing way back in the pines
[02:49.72] The memories made always outlast the pain
[02:51.82] The hourglass drains, I count the grain
[02:54.14] Lookin' back now I stop and think
[02:55.74] How long it'll last, gone in a blink
[02:57.82] A kid raised up
[02:58.86] Just swim and never sink
[02:59.78] Lord take me, take me
[03:02.74] Take me back to them
[03:03.56] Cotton fields and barb wired fences
[03:04.65] All the things that I'm missin'
[03:06.99] Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
[03:08.53] Hit the river and take a dip
[03:10.67] And I don't know why I wanted to leave
[03:12.48] Something that means so much to me
[03:14.55] I guess it's what it took for me to see
[03:18.46] No matter where I roam the only place I call home
[03:24.91] Is in the country
[03:35.48]
