Sittin in six lane backed up traffic
A
Horns a 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
A song comes slippin through the radio static

Changin my mood
A
A little George Strait 1982
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
A
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

Get lost and get right with my soul

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

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 the curvin, windin, twistin 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

Tear down some two lane country
