I was a worn out set of boots, and a flannel off a discount rack
She was a sun kissed skin, with auburn hair kind of heart attack
And the way things were going, you'd of thought that they'd never end
But there God goes, just changing up my plans again
Take me back, when life was a little bit simpler
Grass was a little bit greener on the other side
Take me back when I could find peace in something other than a bottle of jack
Take me back when I wasn't too far gone, and I wasn't hoping I could go back home
Take me back, when I wasn't wishing, that she might wanna take me back
And if I'm being honest, I never really thought she'd leave
Til' she walked out the door, slammed it in my face, and threw me the keys
And that night's still burned into my mind and I just can't seem to forget her
And Goodbye's ringing in my ear, just telling me that she'd never
Take me back, when life was a little bit simpler
Grass was a little bit greener on the other side
Take me back when I could find peace in something other than a bottle of jack
Take me back when I wasn't too far gone, and I wasn't hoping I could go back home
Take me back, when I wasn't wishing, that she might wanna take me back
Yeah, take me back, when life was a little bit simpler
Grass was a little bit greener on the other side
Take me back when I could find peace in something other than a bottle of jack
Take me back when I wasn't too far gone, and I wasn't hoping I could go back home
Take me back, when I wasn't wishing that girl might take me back
She won't take me back, no, she wont take me back
