Colt Ford, Jake Owen - Back lyrics

You know, we get caught up doin' everything
We're not promised tomorrow
Sometimes you need to close your
Eyes and just go back

Yeah back when life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries
Nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm
Sittin' on a tailgate
Thinkin' 'bout those days
Just wish I was 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
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
Everyday my mind goes back to
All those lessons learned and I wanna go

Back when life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries
Nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm
Sittin' on a tailgate
Thinkin' 'bout those days
Just wish I was 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 a wheelchair
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 it's back again
I remember those all night skates
Very first dates and my old friend

Back when life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries
Nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm
Sittin' on a tailgate
Thinkin' 'bout those days
Just wish I was back

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

Back when life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries
Nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm
Sittin' on a tailgate
Thinking 'bout those days just wish I was

Back when life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries
Nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook
