Tom: D
D
Sittin' in six lane backed up traffic
A
Horns a honkin', I've about had it
G
I'm lookin' for an exit sign
A
Gotta get outta here, get it all off my mind
D
And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
A
A song comes slippin' through the radio static
G
Changin' my mood
A
A little George Strait 1982
[Chorus]
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
A
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G
Put a little gravel in my travel
A
Unwind, unravel all night long
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A
Tear down some two lane country
G
Who knows
A
Get lost and get right with my soul
D A G A
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road
[Verse 2]
D
I've been cooped up, tied down
A
'Bout forgotten what a field looks like full of corn and cotton
G
If I'm gonna hit a traffic jam
A
Well it better be a tractor man
D
So sick and tired of this interstate system
A G
I need the curvin', windin', twistin' dusty path to nowhere
A
With the wind blowin' through my baby's hair
[Chorus]
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
A
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G
Put a little gravel in my travel
A
Unwind, unravel all night long
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A
Tear down some two lane country
G
Who knows
A
Get lost and get right with my soul
D A G A
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road
[Verse 3]
D
Maybe it's the feeling
A
Maybe it's the freedom
G A
Maybe it's that shady spot where we park the truck when things get,
D A
yeah park the truck when things get hot
[Chorus]
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
A
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G
Put a little gravel in my travel
A
Unwind, unravel all night long
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A
Tear down some two lane country
G
