Country Music Lyrics

take a back road

Take a back road - Rodney Atkins

Sittin' there six lane backed up traffic
Horns are honkin'
I've about had it
I'm lookin' for an exit sign, gotta get outta here, get it all off my mind

And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
A song comes slippin' through the radio static
Changin' 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
And it 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

Been cooped up, tied down, bout forgotten
What a field looks like full of corn or 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 unwind untwist
A dusty path to nowhere
With the wind blowin' through my baby's hair

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
And it makes me wanna grab ya 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

Maybe it's the feeling
Maybe it's the freedom
Or maybe it's that shady spot where we park the truck when things get hot
Girl, 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
Undwind unravel all night long
And it 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
Some old back road
