I'll Take You Back

Brad Paisley · Time Well Wasted [2005]

(Brad Paisley/Robert Arthur/Tim Owens)



When a freight train jumps off a track

And rolls down my road

And it's summer time in Texas

And they're playing in the snow

When politicians everywhere stop telling lies

And only state the facts

Right then, that's when

I'll take you back.



Let's say I get bucked off a bull and fall and hit my head

And then I get amnesia and forget the things you said

I lose my better judgement and I take up smoking crack

Right then, that's when

I'll take you back.



Chorus:

Go on keep tryin'

Come on keep callin'

You know I like it

When you come crawlin'

It's like music

To hear you bawlin'

Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa.



When Donald Trump takes a part time job parking cars

When Clint Eastwood does ballet in a big pink leotard

And a donkey wins the Derby as he takes his victory lap

Right then, that's when

I'll take you back.



Chorus:

Go on keep tryin;

Come on keep callin'

You know I like it

When you come crawlin'

It's like music

To hear you bawlin'

Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa.



The day that old morning sun rises in the west

And they pass a law in L.A. banning artificial breasts

When cars can run on water, gasoline and oil ain't worth jack

Right then, that's when

I'll take you back.



Chorus:

Go on keep tryin'

Come on keep callin'

You know I like it

When you come crawlin'

It's like music

To hear you squalin'

Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa.



It's like music

To hear you bawlin'

Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa...
