|
Sit in that six lane backed up traffic |
|
Honks are honking, I've about had it |
|
I'm looking for an exit sign |
|
Gotta get out of here, get it all off my mind |
|
And like a memory from your grandpa's attic |
|
A song comes slippin' through the radio static |
|
Changing my mood |
|
A little George Strait 1982 |
|
And it makes me wanna take a back road |
|
Makes me wanna take the long way home |
|
Put a little gravel in my travel |
|
Unwind, unravel all night long |
|
Makes me wanna grab my honey |
|
Tear down some two lane country, who knows |
|
Get lost and get right with my soul |
|
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road |
|
I've been cooked up, fried down, about forgotten |
|
What a field looks like, full of corn and cotton |
|
If I'm gonna hit a traffic jam |
|
Well, it better be a tractor man |
|
So sick and tired of this interstate system |
|
I need a curvin', windin', twistin' |
|
Dusty path to nowhere |
|
With the wind blowing through my baby's hair |
|
Yeah, it makes me wanna take a back road |
|
Makes me wanna take the long way home |
|
Put a little gravel in my travel |
|
Unwind, unravel all night long |
|
Makes me wanna grab my honey |
|
Tear down some two lane country, who knows |
|
Get lost and get right with my soul |
|
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road |
|
Some old back road |
|
Maybe it's the feeling or maybe it's the freedom |
|
Maybe it's that shady spot |
|
Where we park the truck when the things get hot |
|
Girl, we park the truck when the things get hot |
|
And it makes me wanna take a back road |
|
Makes me wanna take the long way home |
|
Put a little gravel in my travel |
|
Unwind, unravel all night long |
|
Makes me wanna grab you, honey |
|
Tear down some two lane country, who knows |
|
Get lost and get right with my soul |
|
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road |
|
Some old back road, get back with my soul |
|
And all I gotta do is take some old back road |
|
To the shady spot where things get hot, girl |
|
Way down, way down, way down some old back road |
