Lyrics

I SAW ON TV ONLY YESTERDAY
COUNTRY SONGS CAN DEPRESS THEY SAY
THEY CLAIM FIGHTING, GAMBLING, DRINKING
ALL THAT LYING AND CHEATING CAUSES SINKING

INTO LIFE'S BLUEST BLUE.THE BLUEST BLUE
DUMPING COUNTRY SONGS JUST WON'T DO
JUMP INSIDE THAT SONG AND BANISH ITS BLUE
YOU'LL BANISH THE BLUE INSIDE OF YOU TOO

BRIDGE

SUCH A SIMPLE EFFORT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH
THE SOLUTION LIES IN ONE SIMPLE TOUCH

CHORUS

PLAY THAT COUNTRY SONG BACKWARDS NOW!
YOU'LL HAVE HEAVENLY HAPPINESS! HOLY COW!!!
PLAY IT BACKWARDS YOU'LL GO FORWARD IN LIFE
YOU'LL KEEP YOUR HOUSE, TRUCK EVEN YOUR WIFE

YOU'LL SAY HELLO AND NEVER SAY SO LONG
IF YOU PAUSE ON HELLO IN THAT COUNTRY SONG
GET RID OF THE BILL COLLECTORS AT THE DOOR
PRESS BACKWARDS, HE'S GONE FOR EVER MORE!

YOU'LL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER EMPTY GLASS
PAUSING THAT SONG WILL MAKE THE BEER LAST
IF YOU'VE LOST MONEY, YOU'LL WIN BACK EACH DIME
PLAY THAT COUNTRY SONG BACKWARDS EVERY TIME!

REPEAT CHORUS
