Brantley Gilbert - Back In The Day Lyrics






Mamma, she's still got that picture
Of me and Katie on homecomin' night
She looked pretty in that fancy dress
But that girl was a barefoot blue jean princess

A hand full of rocks and daddy's pine ladder
Sure did come in handy
For a teenage boy thinkin' all that mattered
Was a kiss that taste like candy

Back in the day we were wild and free
She was my dashboard drummer
Butterflies in the backseat
Little footprints on my window
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
While the water washed our innocence away
Back in the day

Friday nights I'd look up there in the bleachers
And I can see her,
with my letter man's jacket on
And I still got this scar here on my right hand
From when Bobby told her she deserved a better man

Aw.. She hung right with me down in panama city
Raisin' hell on our senior trip
and man ain't it funny
it gets the best of me
And I just can't forget
I just can't forget

Back in the day we were wild and free
She was my dashboard drummer
Butterflies in the backseat
Little footprints on my window
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
While the water washed our innocence away
Back in the day

Summer was over
College was callin' man I had to watch her leave
But I still wonder if she ever thinks of me

'Cause back in the day we were wild and free
She was my dashboard drummer
Butterflies in the backseat
Little footprints on my window
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
While the water washed our innocence away
Feels like yesterday
Back in the day
Back in the day

Brantley Gilbert Back In The Day Comments
  1. C.... E....

    Who else is reminiscing old country songs in 2019?

  2. S.... C....

    I can say Back in the day. Im a 50 year old man, Husband, father, grandfather, and now widower. Dated a swimsuit model in Panama City, Had 3 89 mustangs, Many Loves, but my wife of 27 years is MY LOVE. Back in the day we had fun OUTSIDE, carried guns for hunting, Pledged to the flag, Loved God and Didnt judge by your color or your Politics. Yea send me to the OLD DAYS

  3. P.... S....

    even with people all around you,you can still feal alone.they judge what they see or hear,they don't know what's on the inside because they don't take the time to find out or ask.

    P.... S....

    Paula Schuller right

  4. M.... R....

    BG is the best!

  5. h.... c....

    A kiss that taste like candy??? Wat kind of fat girls Brantley be kissin lmao

    h.... c....

    Fat girls need lovin too

    h.... c....

    @The Kid just not from me

    h.... c....

    @The Kid yea but they gotta pay

    h.... c....

    get a jacked up truck.... fat chicks can't jump

    h.... c....

    I doubt it

  6. j.... d....

    i lived this song #bgforever  

  7. R.... M....

    You say Lady Gaga, I say Lady Antebellum. You say Jason Derulo, I say Jason Aldean. You say T-Pain, I say T-Swift You say Ke$ha, I say Kenny. You say Pitbull, I say Paisley. You say Justin Bieber, I say Justin Moore and go grow a pair. 92% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 3 videos. Stop being a idiot and start listening to real music!!! COUNTRY!! thumbs up!!!

    R.... M....

    Rebecca Moreno ur absolutely rigjt

    R.... M....

    Rebecca Moreno get rid of Taylor swift

    R.... M....

    Rebecca Moreno you are so correct country beats pop and hip hop any day

    R.... M....

    Rebecca Moreno I meannnn I'm all about my country music but who are you to judge anyone in what type of music they listen to lol you listen to poop ass Taylor swift lol she isn't country.... she is lame lol..... just bc someone isn't all country like you doesn't mean shit . I love me some Garth brooks some Brooks n Dunn some Travis Trent some chris Stapleton .... Brantley Gilbert Blake Shelton. Alan Jackson ... Conway .... hank. But I love me some 2pac... bone thugs . Some ice cube . Some snoop some nas some jay z some big. Some Eminem . Country isn't everything lol

    R.... M....

    You didn't even name any old country yet you say listen to country... Your argument is invalid

  8. D.... ....

    Here's something that I think is funny. Brantley Gilbert said that he didn't write about what he didn't experience. So all of his songs are telling stories of him growing up. :)

  9. C.... P....

    AND YOU NEVER WILL!!!

  10. s.... c....

    great fuckin song

  11. C.... E....

    still bgs bigest fan havent heard one thing i dont like keep kickin but

  12. S.... V....

    Luv this song!

  13. f.... ....

    Living life lie back in the day, just how my pa tells me too, and im only 18 haha. Glad this came on during my work out.

  14. S.... M....

    back in the day lol what a saying

  15. D.... W....

    Be safe is all we ask. And keep doing what you do.

  16. m.... h....

    Thank you. You're doing something that most of the country has a fear of doing. Just by signing up for service, makes you a better person than most.

  17. O.... S....

    Yeah I guess so. Thanks for your service bro!

  18. O.... S....

    I wish i had a High School sweetheart. I still haven't and i'm a Junior. /:

  19. K.... L....

    My boyfriend showed me this song the other night, and my name is Katie too! He sang along to it, we've gotten lost and stayed out too late. He's an amazing a genuine country boy like no other.

  20. k.... ....

    im in high school right now and im crazy but im looking forward to being done with it and be in college freedom and space from my parents is what i need for a while

  21. J.... A....

    Six people didn't have a high school sweetheart that they never got to see again so they can't understand the meaning of this song and how it speaks to your heart.

  22. J.... ....

    wtf how old r u??? i looked u up & u look like ur 12

  23. b.... ....

    u need to speed the lyrics up a bit make um watch up with the song before haslf the verse is over

  24. K.... M....

    My name is Katie and this song reminds me like me and my boyfriend like no other song. He is my country boy and we have gotten "lost" more than once. I sit up in those bleachers every Friday night I can to cheer him on and i know he would do anything. He may not be my husband in ten years but I do know that i will never forget him. He is my best friend.

  25. K.... S....
