  S1:
  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 

  Then like a memory from your grandpa's attic 

  A song comes slippin' through the radio static 

  Changing my mood  

  A little George Strait 1982

  R1:
  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 

  -----x----x----x 

  Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road

  S2:
  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 wide a twistin' 

  Dusty path to nowhere 

  With the wind blowing through my baby's hair

  R1:

  Who knows get lost and get right with my soul

  B1:
  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 

  Girl we park the truck when the things get hot

  -----x----x----x 

  Some old back road 

  Get right with my soul 

  Now all I gotta do is take some old back road 

  -----x----x----x 

  To the shady spot where things get hot girl 

  -----x----x----- 

  Way down, way down, way down some old back road
