Been checking my phone too many nights
Waiting on you like a long red light
I look at me then and I look at me now
Maybe my boys know what they're talking about

I've tried being someone that I ain't
No, baby, I just can't, so

Take the sad song strings off of this old guitar
Take a three by five off the dash of my car
Take my black jean jacket, no, don't even ask
Take whatever you want
Baby, I want me back

All the things that you changed that I liked about me
All the wild-child whiskey nights, single and free
Yeah, I'll be missing this
But not near as bad as I miss who I was
Baby, I want me back

Yeah, I want that too late at the bar
Lead foot on the gas
Go a little too far, too hard, too fast
Girl, I hope you find somebody (find somebody)
Hope they're a little more not like me

Take the sad song strings off of this old guitar
Take a three by five off the dash of my car
Take my black jean jacket, no, don't even ask
Take whatever you want
Baby, I want me back

All the things that you changed that I liked about me
All the wild-child whiskey nights, single and free
Yeah, I'll be missing this
But not near as bad as I miss who I was
Baby, I want me back

Back to me back then
Back to me back when
They're wondering where he's at
Baby, I want me back

Take the sad song strings off of this old guitar
Take a three by five off the dash of my car
Take my black jean jacket, no, don't even ask
Take whatever you want
Baby, I want me back

All the things that you changed that I liked about me
All the wild-child whiskey nights, single and free
Yeah, I'll be missing this
But not near as bad as I miss who I was
Baby, I want me back

Baby, I want me back
Baby, I want me back
I want me back
