Intro
[D] [Asus4]
[D] [Asus4] [G] [G]
Verse 1
[D]Sit in that six-lane backed up traffic
[Asus4]Horns are honking, I've about had it
[G]I'm looking for an exit sign
[G]Gotta get out of here, get it all off my mind
[D]And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
[Asus4]A song comes slippin' through the radio static
[G]Changing my mood
[G]A little George Strait 1982 [Asus4]
Chorus
And it [D]makes me wanna take a back road
[Asus4]Makes me wanna take the long way home
[Em7]Put a little gravel in [Dadd9]my travel
[G]Unwind, unravel all [Asus4]night long
[D]Makes me wanna grab my honey
[Asus4]Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
[Em7]Get lost and [Dadd9]get right with my [G]soul
[G]Makes me wanna take
[G]Makes me wanna take a back road.

Verse 2
I've been [D]cooked up, fried down, 'bout forgotten
What a [Asus4]field looks like, full of corn and cotton
If I'm [G]gonna hit a traffic jam,
Well it [G]better be a tractor man
So [D]sick and tired of this interstate system
I need[Asus4] a curve and wide-a-twistin'
[Em7]Dusty path [Dadd9]to nowhere
With the [G]wind blowing through my [Asus4]baby's hair
Chorus
And it [D]makes me wanna take a back road
[Asus4]Makes me wanna take the long way home
[Em7]Put a little gravel in[Dadd9] my travel
[G]Unwind, unravel all [Asus4]night long
[D]Makes me wanna grab my honey
[Asus4]Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
[Em7]Get lost and [Dadd9]get right with my[G] soul
[G]Makes me wanna take
[G]Makes me wanna take a back road.
Instrumental

Bridge
[D]Maybe it's the feeling or maybe it's [Asus4]the freedom
[G]Maybe it's that shady spot
Where we park [G]the truck when the things get hot
Where we park [G]the truck when the things get hot
Chorus
[D]And it makes me wanna take a back road
[Asus4]Makes me wanna take the long way home
[Em7]Put a little gravel in [Dadd9]my travel
[G]Unwind, unravel all [Asus4]night long
[D]Makes me wanna grab my honey
[Asus4]Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
[Em7]Get lost and [Dadd9]get right with my [G]soul
[G]Makes me wanna take
[G]Makes me wanna take a back [D]road.
Some old back [Asus4]road, get right [G]with my soul
Now all[G] I gotta do is take some old [D]back road
To the [Asus4]shady spot where things get [G]hot
[G]Way down, way down, way down some old back[D] road
