Verse 1
I saw a familiar face propped at the bar,
Staring at the bottom of a glass,
He motioned to Slim the bartender for another,
Said these painkillers aren’t doing real well,

Verse 2
He said you know Slim I had it all,
As he took another mouthful from his glass,
I don’t believe I ever told you the story,
Or how I figure I can get back my life,

Chorus:
He said, Play me a Country song backwards,
Just try it, I’m sure you all will agree,
Coz when you play me a Country song backwards,
What was once lost will not be,
So play me a Country song backwards,
Just try it and I’m sure you will see,
Coz when you play me a Country song backwards,
All I’ve lost, will come back to me,

Verse 3
My wife she left me for another,
Some woman was who stole my wife,
The kids are now calling her daddy,
And my dog he pee’d on my car,

Verse 4
Child supports taken my wages,
And the taxman and my ex’s have the rest,
So Slim I really need this one favour.
He nodded, said he do his best,

Chorus: (repeat)
So play me a Country song backwards,
Just try it, I’m sure you all will see,
Coz when you play me a Country song backwards,
What was once lost will not be,
So play me a Country song backwards,
Just try it and I’m sure you will agree,
Coz when you play me a Country song backwards,
All I’ve lost, will come back, backto me,

You know, I’ll get back the car, the dog, the house, my kids, my money & oh yeh, the wife
