Hey Everyone!
So I do this weird thing where I over analyze songs. Back by Colt Ford and Jake Owen happens to be one of them. You can here it
right here it will open a new window. So let me explain this song.
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 sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back
This part is just kinda saying how much he misses being little, and he wants to go back. He wishes that it was simpler and there weren't as many worries. He also misses his mamas good cooking and fishin with his dad.
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
When I think about back then it was so simple and easy. Havin fun with my friends, there wasn't anything better than huntin squirrels. He took a ring and gave it to this girl he liked. It comes very easy to remember the walk he took with his dad when that talked about tellin lies. And he remembers the lessons everyday. So hes just describing what he used to do.
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 sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back
This part is just kinda saying how much he misses being little, and he wants to go back. He wishes that it was simpler and there weren't as many worries. He also misses his mamas good cooking and fishin with his dad.
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
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
I remember those all night skates, very first dates and my old friend
He can remember the Texaco everybody knew that Mr. Logan owned. Mr. Logan died and they turned the Texaco into something else. His best friend David grew up in a wheel chair and he would give $1000000 if David was still here. Its funny how time flys and you forget old memories. They torn down the city baseball field. They closed the skating ring but now its open again.
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
His dads gettin older, but his son and dad are best friends. Still gets advice from his mom. He doesn't know what hell do when shes gone.
So that's it for music Monday! Next weeks song will be Taylor Swift - Everything Has Changed - Feat. Ed Sheeran feel free to go listen to it
