Back to Back
The Horse and The Hammock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl
Just a small town girl
They see corn row world
Just a small town girl

Dreams
I know you've got your dreams
But you're not here with me
Am I still in your dreams

One way town with no way out
It's holding you in
And it's holding you down
But I'll be the one who will set your heart free
If you come back to me

Boy
Just a rebel boy
Raisin' hell makin' noise
Just a rebel boy

Scars
I know I've left some scars
But we've come to far to stop
'Cause a couple of scars

One way town with no way out
It's holding you in and it's holding you down
But I'll be the one who will set your heart free
If you come back to me

Oh oh oh oh
If you come back to me
Oh oh oh oh
If you come back

One way town with no way out
It's holding you in and it's holding you down
But I'll be the one who will set your heart free
If you come back to me
Oh, If you come back to me

Girl
Just a small town girl




I'm just a rebel boy
In love with a small town girl

Overall Meaning

The Horse and The Hammock's song "Back to Back" tells a story of two people from a small town who fall in love, but are separated by their individual dreams and aspirations. The girl is described as a small town girl who is perceived to be trapped in a corn row world. The lyrics suggest that although she has dreams of her own, they seem to be keeping her away from the person she loves. The boy, on the other hand, is described as a rebel who had raised hell and made noise in his life. He acknowledges that he has left scars on the girl, but he believes that they have come too far to stop now.


The song describes a one-way town with no way out that is holding both of them in and down. However, the lyrics suggest that the boy is willing to set the girl's heart free if she comes back to him. The song is a plea to the girl to come back to the boy and to give their love a chance. The repetition of the phrase "If you come back to me" highlights the boy's willingness to put aside his own dreams and desires to be with the girl he loves.


Overall, the song "Back to Back" is about the struggle of balancing individual dreams and aspirations with love and relationships. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, in order to pursue our dreams, we have to give up the things we love. However, the song offers hope that true love can overcome any obstacle, including differences in aspirations and dreams.

Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride (Kio, Kio) 'til I can't no more
I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that's black to match
Riding on a horse, ha
You can whip your Porsche
I been in the valley
You ain't been up off the porch, now
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell me nothing
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell me nothing
Riding on a tractor
Lean all in my bladder
Cheated on my baby
You can go and ask her
My life is a movie
Bull riding and boobies
Cowboy hat from Gucci
Wrangler on my booty
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell me nothing
Can't nobody tell me nothing
You can't tell me nothing
Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
Hat down, cross-town, livin' like a rockstar
Spent a lot of money on my brand-new guitar
Baby's got a habit: diamond rings and Fendi sports bras
Ridin' down Rodeo in my Maserati sports car
Got no stress, I've been through all that
I'm like a Marlboro Man so I kick on back
Wish I could roll on back to that old town road
I wanna ride 'til I can't no more
Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
