Taking It Back
(Verse 1)
Well, they took a literal kingdom and turned it to scrap
Put a whole lot of "garbage" in a "legacy" trap
You gotta weave and you gotta dodge just to pull in the drive
Unless you want a flat tireâman, itâs lucky you're alive!
Thereâs a washing machine sitting out in the sun
And a pile of old tires where the cows used to run
If Grandma saw this, sheâd grab a pitchfork and a broom
And clear every one of 'em out of the room!
(Pre-Chorus)
Itâs a hot mess express, itâs a junkyard parade
But theyâre just warming up the seat for a move Iâve already made.
(Chorus)
Yeah, itâs "trashy" for now, but honey, just wait
Iâm already taking it back, swinging wide every gate
Theyâre tossing it out, theyâre letting it rot
They think theyâre the kings of this overgrown lot
But Iâve got the name and Iâve got the eyes
And Iâm planning a little "reclamation" surprise!
(Butt smack)
(Jaw drop)
Keep your scrap metal, Iâm taking the dirt
Iâm taking it back till itâs gonna hurt!
(Verse 2)
They tore down the barnânow, wasnât that smart?
Ripping the soul out of a family heart
The pole buildingâs loaded with literal junk
Smells like a mixture of "hoarding" and "skunk"
Inherited everything, earned not a thing
Just sitting on the porch like a plastic-deck king
But a title is paper, and paper can burn
And Iâm just waiting patient for my little turn.
(Bridge)
They can keep the "crap" and the rusted-out gears
Iâm focused on the lilacs and the "next fifty years"
I see through the mess to the promise underneath
Iâm already coming... with a smile on my teeth!
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, itâs a junkyard for now, but honey, just wait
Iâm already taking it back, swinging wide every gate
Theyâre tossing it out, theyâre letting it rot
They think theyâre the kings of this overgrown lot
But Iâve got the name and Iâve got the eyes
And Iâm planning a little "reclamation" surprise!
(Butt smack)
(Jaw drop)
Keep your scrap metal, Iâm taking the dirt
Iâm taking it back till itâs gonna hurt!
(Outro)
Iâm rebuilding the barn.
Iâm clearing the lane.
Iâm washing out the junk and Iâm healing the stain.
So keep on sitting there... enjoy the view
'Cause I'm taking it back...
And Iâm bringing back the BLUE.
(Sassy laugh)
(Door slams)
(Engine revs)
See ya.
