What do you get when you play a country song backwards?

You get your wife back, you get your dog back, you get your truck back....

In Gill's case I'm not sure he's ever lost the truck or the dog. He's been too focused on the whole cheatin' wife thing. I could be wrong. I know there was mention of a truck in one of the songs, but I think he took it when the wife was cheatin'. He did drive a John Deer to the bar once when the wife took the keys to keep him from hangin' around with the good ole boys... (and that is actually one of his more fun songs.)
