V1.
There was a myth going ‘round
Back when I was a kid
If you spin records backwards
There were messages hid
Spun them counter-clockwise
To retrieve the lost clues
But if you do it for country music 
It takes away all your blues

Chorus
Turned George Strait in reverse
The Cowboy’s coming right back
Hit rewind on some Patsy Cline
Now she ain’t crazy like that
McCreery got five more minutes
Swindell’s dad is still here
Riley Green and his grandpa 
Are at Luke’s 32 drinkin’ a beer

Post Chorus
It fixes whatever’s on your mind
If you just rewind

V2.
All lost loves have returned
And no trucks got wrecked
You’re old dog never died
He’s been revived by the vet
You’ve never lost a long shot bet
Your teams win every game
And momma never got run over
…By some danged ol train

Chorus
Turned George Strait in reverse
The Cowboy’s coming right back
Hit rewind on some Patsy Cline
Now she ain’t crazy like that
McCreery got five more minutes
Swindell’s dad is still here
Riley Green and his grandpa 
Are at Luke’s 32 drinkin’ a beer

Post Chorus
It fixes whatever’s on your mind
If you just rewind

Bridge
The Sunburned Silverado
Turned Wallen back to the south
Because gettin’ sand in your boots
Might be what life’s all about

Chorus
Turned George Strait in reverse
The Cowboy’s coming right back
Hit rewind on some Patsy Cline
Now she ain’t crazy like that
McCreery got five more minutes
Swindell’s dad is still here
Riley Green and his grandpa
Are at Luke’s 32 drinkin’ a beer

Post Chorus
It fixes whatever’s on your mind
If you just rewind




Rewind (2025) (2) (Cover)

“Silence No More” confronts the modern reality of control without violence — where voices are muted, truths are buried, and dissent is punished quietly through fear, algorithms, and social pressure. The song calls out a system that no longer needs chains or bullets to dominate — only silence.

Built on Appalachian Americana roots and outlaw Southern rock grit, the track blends old-world resistance with present-day urgency. It reflects the growing awareness that censorship today is often invisible, procedural, and dressed up as protection — while still carrying real consequences for those who speak plainly.

This song is part of the Basically Done Original Soundtrack, the official musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s novel Basically Done and the upcoming Basically Done series/franchise. Together, the music and narrative document a cultural breaking point — the moment when quiet compliance fails and ordinary people decide they’re done lowering their heads.

“Silence No More” isn’t a slogan.
It’s a line in the sand.
