"Backwards Country Song"
©2010 C. Mezzino, T. Reifel

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?"
It's like I'm livin' in a backwards country song

I gotta good job and I work real hard
I gotta 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
It's like I'm livin' in a backwards country song

(Chorus 1)
'Cause 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
It's like I'm livin' in a backwards country song

I got all my teeth and all my hair
And every day I have clean underwear
The grass is cut, my bills are paid
And the house is nice and neat, 'cause I gotta french maid
I get along fine with my mother-in-law
It's like I'm livin' in a backwards country song


(Chorus 2)
'Cause 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
It's like I'm livin' in a backwards country song

I got a brand new truck, and it runs real strong
It's like I'm livin' in a backwards country song
