Song of the Week- Back by Colt Ford ft. Jake Owen

For those of you who do not know, Colt Ford, his real name is Jason Farris Brown, but as a professional he is known by Colt Ford.  Colt Ford is an American country rapper.  You might also know him from his former profession as a professional golfer.  Some of Colt Ford's other songs include: Dirt Road Anthem, Ride Through the Country, and Drivin' Around.  The newly released song "Back" is featured on his latest CD- Declaration of Independence.  Colt Ford recorded the song with a country singer Jake Owen.  Together they make the song one of my favorites.  The song talks about going back in time to when things were simpler, easier, and more fun.  It's not the typical song that you would think of when you think of a country song, it has a different instrumental background.  Here are some of the lyrics:

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

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 sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back
