Brad Paisley Parody - "Rewind Me"

Rewind Me

(A Parody of Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood’s “Remind Me”)


I didn’t care if I wasn’t cool

Songs about life and heartbroke fools

Cheatin’ and dyin’ and old barstools

What happened to three chords and the truth?

Now all my songs are sounding the same

As genres with completely different names

I miss the tunes I spun back then I wanna go back there again


Been so long bet you forget the things that you should expect

Rewind me, rewind me

Stop it with the pickup trucks, Old Hank is frowning from above

Rewind me, rewind me


Remember the Possum breaking your heart

Jerry Reed raising hell on his guitar

The Man in Black used to walk that line

But Nashville's gone and lost its spine


Do you remember how I used to sound

Before they upped the volume, put the fiddles down

Rewind me, dammit, rewind me


Where’s the country you used to love?

The grit and the twang that you miss so much

Rewind me, please please, rewind me


I want the steel to play

On me, country radio

Oh, if you still love me

Don't let heritage go


Won't you rewind me, rewind me


Do you remember the way it was?

Yeah, back when money wasn't the driving force

Rewind me

Yeah, rewind me

I didn't have anything to prove

Country's what you are not the words you use

Rewind me, oh, baby, rewind me


Yeah, you’d tune in to hear genuine hurt

Or drink with me at the bar after work

Rewind me


Wish you could rewind me


Oh, go on, rewind me, baby, rewind me

Yeah, I should be real as that Delta dirt

Oh, yeah, rewind me

Lord, rewind me

  1. A bit ironic that you name dropped 4 times in this song, while railing against the pandering, insincerity, and predictability of today?

  2. I thought it fit the theme in this case with radio being wistful for the sounds of its own past, but perhaps I should have been aware of the scent of hypocrisy on using the names. In any case, here's an alternate section to replace the name dropping.

    Stop it with the pickup trucks and country cred, enough's enough
    Rewind me, rewind me

    Remember the songs that could break your heart
    But now I'm broken, we've strayed so far
    Truth was strength once upon a time
    But Nashville's gone and lost its spine

  3. Ah man, I was just giving you a hard time. I don't really care. Other version works though.
