Backwoods Songtext
von Zach John King

I ain′t been lost in a minute
Ain't been nowhere where the phone don′t work
Ain't heard me a creek or a cricket
Ain't spent no time in a duck blind church
I bet it′s the same since I left it
Still the closest thing I′ve seen to Heaven

Take me back to the backwoods
Put a pine tree shadow on my truck hood
Catch a throw it back bass on a bream hook
Don't it sound good, like, "Oh"

Put me on the outskirts
With the dirt same color as the good word
With a homegrown girl in my t-shirt
Need me some of that, ain′t on the map
Take me back to the backwoods


I miss that starlit ceiling
I miss them whitetail jumping barbed wire
I'ma find my back 40 healing
With my arms ′round her and a whippoorwill choir
I need some middle of nowhere
So if I go missing you know where

Take me back to the backwoods
Put a pine tree shadow on my truck hood
Catch a throw it back bass on a bream hook
Don't it sound good, like, "Oh"

Put me on the outskirts
With the dirt same color as the good word
With a homegrown girl in my t-shirt
Need me some of that, ain′t on the map
Take me back to the backwoods

Where I came from
Try to find a better place
No, there ain't none, yeah
Take me back to the backwoods
Take me back

Take me back to the backwoods
Put a pine tree shadow on my truck hood
Catch a throw it back bass on a bream hook
Don't it sound good, like, "Oh"


Put me on the outskirts
With the dirt same color as the good word
With a homegrown girl in my t-shirt
Need me some of that, ain′t on the map
Take me back to the backwoods

Take me back to the backwoods, yeah
Take me back to the backwoods
