[Verse 1]

You can hide the small talk

You can hide the hate

You can hide the check your phone each time you get a little break

And you can hide the lonely

You can hide the pain

You can hide the TV full of stations that tell you how to think

[Chorus]

But the smell of old wood bleachers

And the word of hometown preachers

Bein' rich was her and a cheap six-pack

Yeah, the shine of a new summer

Barefoot baseball with my brother

First-time freedom with the windows cracked

I want that back

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]

You can take away the judgment

Take away the mirrors

And take away the wasting time on things you won't care about in years

And take away the drama

Take away the shame

Take away the broken hearts, but just don't take away

[Chorus]

The smell of old wood bleachers

And the word of hometown preachers

Bein' rich was her and a cheap six-pack (Ooh)

Yeah, the shine of a new summer

Barefoot baseball with my brother

First-time freedom with the windows cracked

I want that back

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Mm)

[Bridge]

And sometimes I want the world I knew

When all it took to get me through

Was half a tank, nothing planned

Parking lots, Petty...

[Chorus]

And the smell of old wood bleachers

And the word of hometown preachers

Bein' rich was her and a cheap six-pack

Yeah, the shine of a new summer

Barefoot baseball with my brother

First-time freedom with the windows cracked

I want that back

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh)

Oh-oh-oh-oh

I want that back

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh, mm)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Mm)

I want that back
