Bring It On Back 		Doug Folkins © 2003

Grasshoppers and fireflies trapped in jars - bring it on back
Cousins playing made up games, uncles sipping lemonade - bring it on back
Fresh cut grass and electric fences keep the cattle in - bring it on back
Women are sitting around in the kitchen listen to her she’s always bitching - bring it on back

Chorus
Take me back to the farm where I grew up
Take me back to the mountain
Take me back to the fields and the wind
Take me back – I’ll be counting

Warm beer and fresh cut hay, little kids always in the way - bring it on back
Uncle Roy in his big old car back seat full of hand me downs - bring it on back
Grandfather is telling jokes neighbor’s kids are stealing smokes - bring it on back
Me I’m the quiet kid, I never did wrong but I wish I did - bring it on back

Bridge
Morning comes and it wakes me up
A thousand miles in this pickup truck
A thousand more before we hit the border
I guess I won’t make it home today – bring it on back

Lights and laughter from the farmhouse kitchen - bring it on back
Cold clear nights with the stars above midnight walks- bring it on back
Me and Shelly are hand in hand I stole a kiss in the van - bring it on back
Mince meat pies and run down cars, rock piles with broken jars - bring it on back
