Sitting in six-lane backed up traffic
|
Horns 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 cooped up, tied down, 'bout 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 to curve and wind and twist on a dusty path to nowhere
|
With the wind blowing through my baby's hair
|
|
Yeah, 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 things get hot
|
Where we park the truck when 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 right with my soul
|
Now all I gotta do is take some old back road
|
To the shady spot where things get hot
|
Way down, way down, way down some old back road
|
|
