Take Me Back

Take me back to them
 Cotton fields and barb wired fences
 All the things that I'm missin'
 Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
 Hit the river and take a dip
 And I don't know why I wanted to leave
 Something that means so much to me
 I guess it's what it took for me to see
 No matter where I roam the only place I call home
 Is in the country
 Way out in the country
 Huntin', fishin', that's just how we lived
 In homes, valley back to my beginin'
 Learn the skill of skinin'
 Scufflin' by filled with thorns
 We was hidin' in a farm
 Pond filled with snakes and gators we was divin' in
 Ain't nothin' to a country boy
 Only fear the good Lord and a mama, boy
 Drive big trucks like a Tonka toy
 You know them country girls to love a country boy
 We can get litty on outside of the city
 Dance in front of the lights on an F250
 Windows down crankin' Conway Twitty
 Takin' me back to them
 Cotton fields and barb wired fences
 All the things that I'm missin'
 Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
 Hit the river and take a dip
 And I don't know why I wanted to leave
 Something that means so much to me
 I guess it's what it took for me to see
 No matter where I roam the only place I call home
 Is in the country
 Let me get the picture real quick
 So maybe y'all will understand
 Where I grew up on that family land
 Papa passed it down to my old man
 Now that's where he rocks
 Back and forth on that front porch
 Hoo owl off in the distance
 Moonlight bright as a tiki torch
 Bonfires and some stinky weed
 Moonshine and old oak trees
 Fish jumpin' up out the creek
 Honey suckles and bumble bees
 This is my place (My place)
 This is my home (My home)
 No matter I go take me, take me, take me, take me
 Take me back to them
 Cotton fields and barb wired fences
 All the things that I'm missin'
 Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
 Hit the river and take a dip
 And I don't know why I wanted to leave
 Something that means so much to me
 I guess it's what it took for me to see
 No matter where I roam the only place I call home
 Is in the country
 Y'all know 'bout where I was raised
 Where we pay respects and say grace
 The name chiseled on local tombs and graves
 Jones County the place where I was saved
 A book of sentences I've written for miles
 Like scripture since I was a child
 Pops laid block but for hours
 A strong foundation to stand up on and climb
 Each breath taken I could feel the light
 Shinin' the songs I sing way back in the pines
 The memories made always outlast the pain
 The hourglass drains, I count the grain
 Lookin' back now I stop and think
 How long it'll last, gone in a blink
 A kid raised up
 Just swim and never sink
 Lord take me, take me
 Take me back to them
 Cotton fields and barb wired fences
 All the things that I'm missin'
 Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
 Hit the river and take a dip
 And I don't know why I wanted to leave
 Something that means so much to me
 I guess it's what it took for me to see
 No matter where I roam the only place I call home
 Is in the country
