Rodney Atkins - Take A Back Road Lyrics
Sitting in six-lane backed up trafficHorns are honking, I've about had itI'm looking for an exit signGotta get out of here, get it all off my mindAnd like a memory from your grandpa's atticA song comes slippin' through the radio staticChanging my moodA little George Strait 1982And it makes me wanna take a back roadMakes me wanna take the long way homePut a little gravel in my travelUnwind, unravel all night longMakes me wanna grab my honeyTear down some two-lane countryWho knowsGet lost and get right with my soulMakes me wanna takeMakes me wanna take a back road.I've been cooped up, tied down, 'bout forgottenWhat a field looks like full of corn and cottonIf I'm gonna hit a traffic jam,Well it better be a tractor manSo sick and tired of this interstate systemI need to curve and wind and twist on a dusty path to nowhereWith the wind blowing through my baby's hairYeah, makes me wanna take a back roadMakes me wanna take the long way homePut a little gravel in my travelUnwind, unravel all night longMakes me wanna grab my honeyTear down some two-lane countryWho knowsGet lost and get right with my soulMakes me wanna takeMakes me wanna take a back roadSome old back road.Maybe it's the feeling or maybe it's the freedomMaybe it's that shady spot Where we park the truck when things get hotWhere we park the truck when things get hotAnd it makes me wanna take a back roadMakes me wanna take the long way homePut a little gravel in my travelUnwind, unravel all night longMakes me wanna grab you, honeyTear down some two-lane countryWho knowsGet lost and get right with my soulMakes me wanna takeMakes me wanna take a back road.Some old back road, get right with my soulNow all I gotta do is take some old back roadTo the shady spot where things get hotWay down, way down, way down some old back road
