Back 40 Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
Losing our minds in the field tonight
And the sun’s going down
Losing light still
Got a long, long way to go
Just keep the boys around me, Lord
I wouldn’t want it any way I had before
I swear
We’ll make it through the morn’
[Verse 2]
Well, we’re driving all the fences
Doling our senses
Doing our work ’til it works us senseless
Just putting in our time
But it ain’t too bad with the company
Of a couple good fellas sitting next to me
Let’s see
See the sun damn shine
[Chorus]
So, Lord
Take me down to the back 40 again
‘Fore we all run ragged and run to all our ends
Give me the pain with the good
Track through the trails if we still could
Oh, man
Well in the back 40 again
Take me to the back 40 again
Oh
[Verse 3]
We got tired hands and calloused eyes
Been working all day slaving all night
I guess, you can’t pay back what you owe
But the cups are all filled with the golden caps
We’re cooped up in the mod
We’re throwing mags, oh boy
Better get ’em nice and high
[Chorus]
So, Lord
Take me down to the back 40 again
‘Fore we all run ragged and run to all our ends
Give me the pain with the good
Track through the trails if we still could
Oh, man
Well in the back 40 again
Take me to the back 40 again
Oh
So, Lord
Take me down to the back 40 again
‘Fore we all run ragged and run to all our ends
Give me the pain with the good
Track through the trails if we still could
Oh, man
Well in the back 40 again
Oh
Back 40 again
Oh-oh-oh
Back 40 again

Back 40 Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
Just a count-in to start the song.
[Verse 1]
The singer is out in the fields at night, feeling a little wild and free with his friends as the sun sets. There’s still a long journey ahead, but he finds comfort in the people around him. He doesn’t want life to go back to how it was before—being here with the boys feels right. Even though it’s tough, he’s sure they’ll make it to morning.
[Verse 2]
They’re working hard, fixing fences and wearing themselves out with physical labor. It’s exhausting and repetitive, but there’s a kind of peace in the routine. What really makes it bearable is the company of his buddies by his side. Even in the middle of all this effort, they can still take a moment to enjoy the sun and appreciate where they are.
[Chorus]
He’s asking for a return to the back 40, a peaceful place in nature where he and his friends can escape before life wears them down completely. He wants to take on the hard times just like the good ones, as long as they’re all still able to walk those familiar paths. That place holds something special—it’s not just land, it’s full of memories, freedom, and connection. It’s where he feels most alive.
[Verse 3]
Their bodies are worn out from long days and nights of nonstop work. They’ve been grinding non-stop, giving all they’ve got, and there’s a sense that no amount of effort can ever truly settle life’s debts. Still, they’re finding small joys—maybe drinks (golden caps) or laughter—while stuck in a muddy, chaotic environment. They’re letting loose, maybe firing off rounds or blowing off steam, just trying to lift their spirits high.
[Chorus]
Once again, he’s asking to be taken back to that special place—the back 40—before everyone burns out and reaches their limits. He wants to face all of life’s ups and downs out there with his crew, walking the same trails they once did. That place holds a deep connection for him. It’s not just about escaping the stress, but also about honoring the bond they’ve built there through years of shared work and memories. He’s practically begging for that chance again, repeating the wish over and over, because it means everything to him.
