take aback road
Sit in that six lane backed up traffic
Honks are honking, Ive about had it
Im looking for an exit sign
Gotta get out of here, get it all off my mind
And like a memory from your grandpas 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
Ive been cooked up, fried down, about forgotten
What a field looks like, full of corn and cotton
If Im 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 babys 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 its the feeling or maybe its the freedom
Maybe its 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
