"Take A Back Road"
Sit
in that 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 a curve and wind-a-twistin'
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 the things get hot
Where
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 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
