Back
Recorded by Colt Ford ft. Jake Owen
Album: Declaration of Independence
[Intro]
G x 2 bars
[Chorus]
GBack, when life was simple as Bmthat, I didn't know I'd miss it so Cbad
When this whole world had Emway less worries, Dnobody in a hurry
And Gback to mama's home cookin' and Bmdad was baitin' my hook
And I'm Csitting on a tailgate, thinking 'bout those days
EmJust Dwish I was
[Rapping]
GBack, when I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so simple then
BmDirt-bike and a fishin' pole at a fishin' hole with all my friends
CNothin' better than a BB gun in my backyard just huntin' squirrels
EmTook a ring from my mama's Ddrawer and gave it to this little girl
GHer mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a talk
BmI remember like yesterday what he said when we took that walk
C"Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth burns"
EmEveryday my mind goes Dback to all those lessons learned and I wanna go
[Repeat Chorus]
[Rapping]
GBack, I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own
BmThey turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone
CMy best friend David, he grew up ridin' in that wheelchair
EmThought I'd give a million Dbucks if that old boy was still here
GAin't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade away
BmThey built a parking lot on the baseball field we used to play
CThat skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back again
EmI remember those all night Dskates, very first dates and my old friend
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental] 
 G   Bm   CEmD
[Rapping]
GMy dad's gettin' older now but son he's still as tough as ever
BmHim and my little boy are best friends now, wish it could last forever
CMy mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice
EmShe never ever let me Ddown, God, what will I do when she's not around
[Outro]
GBack, when life was simple as Bmthat, I didn't know I'd miss it so Cbad
When this whole world had Emway less worries, Dnobody in a hurry
And Gback to mama's home cookin' and Bmdad -----

Back

Recorded by Colt Ford ft. Jake Owen

Album: Declaration of Independence

[Intro]

G x 2 bars

[Chorus]

G Bm C

Back, when life was simple as that, I didn't know I'd miss it so bad

Em D

When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry

G Bm

And back to mama's home cookin' and dad was baitin' my hook

And I'm sitting on a tailgate, thinking 'bout those days

Em D

Just wish I was

[Rapping]

Back, when I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so simple then

Dirt-bike and a fishin' pole at a fishin' hole with all my friends

Nothin' better than a BB gun in my backyard just huntin' squirrels

Em D

Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this little girl

Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a talk

I remember like yesterday what he said when we took that walk

"Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth burns"

Em D

Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned and I wanna go

[Repeat Chorus]

[Rapping]

Back, I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own

They turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone

My best friend David, he grew up ridin' in that wheelchair

Em D

Thought I'd give a million bucks if that old boy was still here

Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade away

They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used to play

That skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back again

Em D

I remember those all night skates, very first dates and my old friend

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

G Bm C

EmD

[Rapping]

My dad's gettin' older now but son he's still as tough as ever

Him and my little boy are best friends now, wish it could last forever

My mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice

Em D

She never ever let me down, God, what will I do when she's not around

[Outro]

G Bm C

Back, when life was simple as that, I didn't know I'd miss it so bad

Em D

When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry

And back to mama's home cookin' and dad -----
