Lyrics

Title: I Want Her Back
Copyright 2025 Frederick M. Spina
Genre: Alt Country, Male Artist (Riley Green/Parker McCollum)
Core Theme: Second chances happen, being in love again

Verse 1
We've got a new wager in this town,
'Bout which neon light burns out last--
Is it the one that sits outside this worn-down bar,
Or that roadside motel by the highway overpass?

VERSE 2
She walked in and ordered a glass of red off the rack
Same big smile, Didn't think she'd ever come back
She laughed, "You've been talkin' 'bout the same thing since I left
That's how we got together - Yeah, she got in on the bet

Chorus
I'm a man of few words, don't always move too fast
If I was drinking beer, yeah, I'd let this pass
But tonight, I'm drinking bourbon, no ice in my glass,
That's liquid courage talkin', God-- I want her back.

Verse 3
We picked up talking like we never missed a beat,
Same old jokes, same laugh, same pull inside of me
One round turned to two while the band played low,
That neon kept on flickerin' as she asked about our old home

Chorus
I'm a man of few words, don't always move too fast
If I was drinking beer, yeah, I'd let this pass
But tonight, I'm drinking bourbon, no ice in my glass,
That's liquid courage talkin', God-- I want her back.

Bridge
We stumbled out past midnight under a dim neon light,
She said, "You wanna do something that feels right?
There was an ink shop open, humming down the street,
If this is permanent, let's write, Forever Starts Tonight

Chorus
I'm a man of few words, don't always move too fast
If I was drinking beer, yeah, I'd let this pass
But tonight, I'm drinking bourbon, no ice in my glass,
That's liquid courage talkin', Thank God she's back
Thank God, she's back
