sit in that sixlane 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
and like a memory from your grandpa’s attic
a song comes slippin’ through the radio static
changing my mood
a little george strait 98
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 twolane 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 ’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 windatwistin’
dusty path to nowhere
with the wind blowing through my baby’s hair
yeah 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 twolane 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 the things get hot
where 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 twolane 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
some old back road to the shady spot where things get hot
some old back road way down way down
way down some old back road
