Reversaroo

Intro

Yeehaw, whoa-oh, hum-ah hum

(sha-la, sha-la) hum-ah hum

Verse

I rode into Sundown with a sunburned hand,

Boots full of dust and a one-string band,

There was a sign on the saloon that read just so:

"Mind your step for the Reversaroo, amigo, oh-oh."

Verse

Old man McGraw tipped his hat to the moon,

Spun his lucky coin 'til it sang a tune,

He tossed it once for a dollar, twice for two,

The coin spun back in his palm—Reversaroo.

Pre-chorus

Wham-bam, clap your hands, stomp the floor (stomp it)

Turn the spool, spin the door (spin it)

If you call it forward, it walks you through

Better learn the line of the Reversaroo (yeah)

Chorus

Reversaroo, reversaroo, turn it back, turn it round

Reversaroo, reversaroo, what you lost will be found

Oh-oh, whoa-oh, ride it backward to the moon

Reversaroo, reversaroo, sing it slow, sing it soon

Verse

The sheriff drew iron for a showdown at dawn,

But his six-gun danced left when the sun came on,

The outlaw ran home with a grin like glue,

Swore he'd never cross that Reversaroo.

Verse

Miss Lila spilled whiskey on her Sunday dress,

Picked the stain up like it owed her less,

She laughed and folded it neat — like new—

Said, "This town's got rules, it's called Reversaroo."

Pre-chorus

Snap your fingers, whisper low (whisper)

Step on tiptoe, then tip-toe (tip-toe)

If you borrow thunder, you'll get it too

Don't be late for the Reversaroo (alright)

Chorus

Reversaroo, reversaroo, turn it back, turn it round

Reversaroo, reversaroo, what you lost will be found

Oh-oh, whoa-oh, ride it backward to the moon

Reversaroo, reversaroo, sing it slow, sing it soon

Bridge

Some say it's curse, some say it's law,

Some say a trick played by an old canyon hawk,

But I danced with a lady who'd been wearing two shoes,

She stepped out forward, then stepped me through—Reversaroo (hey-ya)

Verse

When the river ran uphill and the cattle came home,

Folks started calling it a place to roam,

If you spilled a secret, the town would undo,

A-heh, you could fix things with a Reversaroo.

Chorus

Reversaroo, reversaroo, turn it back, turn it round

Reversaroo, reversaroo, what you lost will be found

Oh-oh, whoa-oh, ride it backward to the moon

Reversaroo, reversaroo, sing it slow, sing it soon

Chorus

Reversaroo, reversaroo, turn it back, turn it round

Reversaroo, reversaroo, what you lost will be found

Oh-oh, whoa-oh, ride it backward to the moon

Reversaroo, reversaroo, sing it slow, sing it soon

Outro

(yeehaw) hum-ah hum, hum-ah hum

(sha-la) hum-ah hum
