Colt Ford - Back 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

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

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

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

Colt Ford Back Comments
  1. S.... C....

    I was back to my middle school days to see me first love 😍

  2. l.... d....

    Before my parents separated when I was 10 years old things were simple and everyone got along. Now my mom and hate my sister's hate my dad and I'm the only one who has a relationship with him and my dad disowns my sister's and I'm 20 years old now wishing I could have one more day with the whole family together

  3. J.... R....

    You miss days past, but what about today? If you spend today, reminiscing about yesterday, the only memory you will have tomorrow of today, is being sad about yesterday. If you keep that up, you'll live a sad future because you couldn't turn your back on the past..your childhood was great because you knew you had you're whole future ahead of you, you didn't live for the past, you lived for the present. That's why you were happy.
    So, You want to be happy now? Live for the present, and get excited about the future.

    That song takes me back to the 1970s all the way through the 80s man you're a bad dude Mister Colt Ford and this is coming from a Hispanic man going up

  62. 1.... ....

    This song definitely for sure touches my heart and takes me back I'm 43 now when I was around 13 we moved to Georgia up this old country road I can remember mom's home cookin and my step dad would take me fishing and bait my hook and when I was around 16 I took a ring from my mom and gave it to a girl and got into some trouble. we was all family up that old country road now I don't even know who my neighbors are life was more simple even if I didn't know it. Oh and also later on I got in a fight at the waffle house over my wife running around lol true story.. Colt knows us country boys and sings the truth. Keep it up Colt and God bless. Can't wait for you to come back to Blue Ridge,GA

  63. B.... N....

    This song reminds me of when my dad is home he works on boats so he’s out at sea for a long time and then when he comes home I spend as much time as I can with him and me and him always end listening to music and singing together in his room I love that time together cause I can’t connect with him on guy things like my brothers but music is the one thing we can and will always have together I love you dad

  64. T.... T....

  67. T.... J....

    O do I miss the good old days!! Sweet tune!✨🎶✨😎

  68. D.... H....

  69. g.... ....

    Great song

  70. c.... ....

    Is it just me or can all the rest of you just put this bitch on replay and listen to it over and over and over?

  71. H.... S....

    I love this song but I hate it because it was the last song my dad listened to... I went to see him in the hospital and he had brain damage but he loved Colt Ford I miss you daddy 1-7-13

  72. A.... C....

    This song hits me hard I lived in Troy, Montana when it came out it hits me so hard the whole summer my dad came back it would come on I will never forget this song it strikes me deep in the heart.💜

  73. M.... H....

    This song reminds me of my husband ned

  74. T.... B....

    Wish I could go back makes me miss my parents more wish I treated them better

    T.... B....

    We buried my mom for the year n my stepdad February last tear so cherish every moment with your parent's n kids u never know when the last time you see them

  75. J.... B....

    I want your permission to sing your song but not the way you sing it without the wrap part just a little slower. I like your song it really does bring back memories my deceased brothers name was Logan he was killed in a head on collision and my son David name was also in your song. You described just about my whole life in three minutes. I know there's thousands more that lived the way you were raised. Peace out the Yankee/Cajun/Redneck but mostly Cajun from the deep south.

  76. m.... ....

    This song always makes me think of my dad. Getting older, tough as ever..wishing it could last forever.. I never had kids and he has passed away a couple years ago now. I'd never admit it to anyone in my life but deep down I wish I had children, especially when I think of what it could've been like if my kid and father were best friends.
    Oh well, you can't do it over again.
    Beautiful song ✌❤

  77. B.... ....

    This song is so beautiful

  78. E.... H....

    I think the older we all get the more we wish we could go back to what we call the better carefree times.

  79. J.... R....

    I would give anything if I could go back to me and you Lesa I love you and miss you everyday there is never a day that goes by that you are not on my mind I will always love you Lesa Cox

  80. T.... F....
