Take Me Back by Cypress Spring Lyrics
[Chorus: Craig Campbell]
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
[Verse 1: Paul Roche Jr.]
Way out in the country
Huntin', fishin', that's just how we livin'
Holmes Valley, back to my beginnin'
Learn the skill of skinnin'
Scufflin' by, filled with thorns and briars
We was hidin' in a farm pond
Filled with snakes and gators we was divin' it
Ain't nothin' to a country boy
Only fear the good Lord and a mama, boy
Only 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 F-250
Windows down crankin' Conway Twitty
Takin' me back to
[Chorus: Craig Campbell]
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
[Verse 2: Tyler Ackerman]
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 (He rocks)
Back and forth on that front porch
Hoot 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
Honeysuckles and bumble bees
This is my place (My place)
This is my home (My home)
No matter where I go take me, take me, take me, take me
[Chorus: Craig Campbell]
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
[Verse 3: Demun Jones]
Y'all know where about 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 before I was alive
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 a moment last, gone in a blink
A kid raised up to swim and never sink
Lord take me, take me
[Chorus: Craig Campbell]
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
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
