Sittin' in that sixth lane, backed up traffic
Horns a-honkin', I've about had
I'm lookin' for an exit sign
Gotta get outta here, get it all off my mind
And lock a memory from your grandpa's attic
A song comes slippin' through the radio static
Changing my mood
A little George Strait in 1982
And it makes me wanna take the back road
Makes me wanna take the long way home
Throw a little gravel in my travel
Unwind, unravel, all night long
Makes me wanna *** 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, about 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, a wind, a twist, and a dusty path
No way
With the wind blowin' through my baby's hair
Makes me wanna take the 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 *** 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 things get hot
Girl, we park the truck when things get hot
And it makes me wanna take the 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 *** 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
Get right with my soul
Now 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
