We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to basics
Going back, back to the Word of God
We're going back

I was 17 when I left home
Went as far away as I could get
Headed westward to the sunshine
To meet people I hadn't met
Put my faith in situations
Anything to reject the past

We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to basics
Going back, back to the Word of God
We're going back

Uh-oh, I found trouble
My understanding was getting cloudy
I started reading, started believing
Silly sermons
Quick solutions
Going back to what meant something
When I was a little boy

I'm going, you're going
We're going back, back to basics
Going back, back to the Word of God
We're going back

That's my story if you don't believe it
Well, I'm sorry we'll have to agree to disagree
Yes I love you, yes I know you love me
I'll pray for you and you pray, you pray for me

We're going back, back to basics
Going back
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back
