Back Home, 1970
Written by Chuck Berry
A winking double-entendre of a song in the inimitable Berry style. Indeed, this is something of a reworking of "Reelin' and Rockin'" in that it features verses about the narrator and his girl counted up by the numbers. In this case the numbers are songs rather than the hours of a clock, but the concept is the same. He even reuses some of his lyrics from the live version of "Reelin'": We were out the floor when they played number two / You know she claims she don't, but I know she do." By 1970, Chuck's risqué lyrics were considered safe to include in the studio recordings: "We were out on the floor when they played number six / I was stone getting firm like a cement mix."
