[Verse 1]
I got dust on the tailgate
And mud on my boots
That old backroad memory
Still runs through you
We were burned in the July heat
Left marks in the grass
Now every worn-out mile sign
Keeps pulling me back
[Pre-Chorus]
So turn it around
Let it spin again
One more good run
Before the night sinks in
I can hear that song
In the fence line air
Girl, if you’re with me
Meet me there
[Chorus]
Take it on back
Take it on back
Right where it all began
Take it on back
Take it on back
Let the whole world go in the grass
(Back, back, back)
Take it on back
Take it on back
To the place we were unafraid
[Verse 2]
Your name on my truck dash
Starts shining like gold
That one cracked-up photograph
Never got old
We can cut through the cotton
Or ride past the creek
If the road keeps on calling
Then follow me
[Pre-Chorus]
So turn it around
Let it breathe again
One more good laugh
Before the river bends
I can feel that pull
Like a summer storm
Girl, if you want it
Let’s go forth
[Chorus]
Take it on back
Take it on back
Right where it all began
Take it on back
Take it on back
Let the whole world go in the grass
(Back, back, back)
Take it on back
Take it on back
To the place we were unafraid
[Bridge]
Let the porch light fade
Let the moon run wild
We were young and loud
With a run-out smile
If time wants a piece
It can come and try
I got one more mile
In these tired eyes
[Final Chorus]
Take it on back
Take it on back
Right where it all began
Take it on back
Take it on back
Let the whole world go in the grass
(Back, back, back)
Take it on back
Take it on back
To the place we were unafraid
Take it on back
Take it on back
Till the morning knows our names
