[Intro]
[Verse 1]
A cowboy sits in a dim hotel room,
One boot on the bed, the other tuned to gloom.
A cold beer whispers, the jukebox heartache hums,
His wife, his truck, his dogāall gone like setting suns.
He lifts the needle, lets the vinyl spin reverse,
Hopes the past might bend or curse.
[Chorus]
Oh, backwards spin, unravel the pain,
Turn "goodbye" to "hello" in a dusty refrain.
A lonesome man prays through the crackle and hiss,
For a second chance sealed with a whiskey-kiss.
[Verse 2]
Three knocks cut the silence, sharp as a spur,
There she standsāhis ghost, his cure.
Keys in her hand, the dog at her heel,
Truck idlinā outside, like time stood still.
She says, "Honey, this road donāt end at a bar,
Come homeāthe stars aināt meant to be rode this far."
[Chorus]
Oh, backwards spin, unravel the pain,
Turn "goodbye" to "hello" in a dusty refrain.
A lonesome man prays through the crackle and hiss,
For a second chance sealed with a whiskey-kiss.
[Bridge]
The recordās magic aināt in the grooves, but the grievinā,
A broken manās plea to rewrite the leavinā.
Now he knows loveās a song that wonāt fade to black,
If you play it backwardsāyou just might get it back.
[Outro]
