Take A Back Road
Rodney Atkins

CAPO 1

Intro: 
D - [accord]Asus4[/accord]
D - [accord]Asus4[/accord] - G - G 


D
Sit in that six-lane backed up traffic 
[accord]Asus4[/accord]
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 
[accord]Asus4[/accord]
A song comes slippin' through the radio static 
G
Changing my mood 
G                            [accord]Asus4[/accord]
A little George Strait 1982 


          D
And it makes me wanna take a back road 
[accord]Asus4[/accord]
Makes me wanna take the long way home 
[accord]Em7[/accord]                    [accord]Dadd9[/accord]
Put a little gravel in my travel 
G                       [accord]Asus4[/accord]
Unwind, unravel all night long 
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey 
[accord]Asus4[/accord]
Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
[accord]Em7[/accord]           [accord]Dadd9[/accord]            G 
Get lost and get right with my soul 
G
Makes me wanna take 
G
Makes me wanna take a back road. 


D - [accord]Asus4[/accord] - G - G

           D
I've been cooked up, fried down, 'bout forgotten 
          [accord]Asus4[/accord]
What a field looks like, full of corn and cotton 
          G
If I'm gonna hit a traffic jam, 
          G
Well it better be a tractor man 
      D
So sick and tired of this interstate system 
      [accord]Asus4[/accord]
I need a curve and wide-a-twistin' 
[accord]Em7[/accord]
Dusty path to nowhere 
           [accord]Dadd9[/accord]                         G
With the wind blowing through my baby's hair 


        D
And it makes me wanna take a back road 
[accord]Asus4[/accord]
Makes me wanna take the long way home 
[accord]Em7[/accord]                   [accord]Dadd9[/accord]
Put a little gravel in my travel 
G                       [accord]Asus4[/accord]
Unwind, unravel all night long 
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey 
[accord]Asus4[/accord]
Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
[accord]Em7[/accord]           [accord]Dadd9[/accord]           G 
Get lost and get right with my soul 
G
Makes me wanna take 
G
Makes me wanna take a back road.


D - [accord]Asus4[/accord] - G - G 


D                                    [accord]Asus4[/accord]
Maybe it's the feeling or maybe it's the freedom
G 
Maybe it's that shady spot 
               G
Where we park the truck when the things get hot 
               G
Where we park the truck when the things get hot 


D
And it makes me wanna take a back road 
[accord]Asus4[/accord]
Makes me wanna take the long way home 
[accord]Em7[/accord]                    [accord]Dadd9[/accord]
Put a little gravel in my travel 
G                       [accord]Asus4[/accord]
Unwind, unravel all night long 
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey 
[accord]Asus4[/accord]
Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
[accord]Em7[/accord]           [accord]Dadd9[/accord]            G 
Get lost and get right with my soul 
G
Makes me wanna take 
G                             D
Makes me wanna take a back road.
                 [accord]Asus4[/accord]         G
Some old back road, get right with my soul 
       G                              D
Now all I gotta do is take some old back road 
           [accord]Asus4[/accord]                    G
To the shady spot where things get hot 
G                                         D
Way down, way down, way down some old back road
