Standard Tuning 
Capo 1

Verse 1
D5
Sittin in six lane backed up traffic
A5
Horns a honkin, I've about had it
G5
I'm lookin for an exit sign
            A5
Gotta get outta here, get it all off my mind
D5
And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
A5
A song comes slippin through the radio static
G5
Changin my mood
           A5
A little George Strait 1982


Chorus: 
D5
And it makes me wanna take a back road
  A5
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G5
Put a little gravel in my travel
  A5
Unwind, unravel all night long
D5
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A5
Tear down some two lane country
      G5
Who knows
                                                 A5
Get lost and get right with my soul
              D5                              A5           G5       A5
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road

 
Verse 2
D5
I've been cooped up, tied down
                                 A5
'Bout forgotten what a field looks like full of corn and cotton
       G5
If I'm gonna hit a traffic jam
            A5
Well it better be a tractor man
  D5
So sick and tired of this interstate system
  A5                                                      G5
I need the curvin, windin, twistin dusty path to nowhere
             A5
With the wind blowin through my baby's hair

Chorus: 
D5
And it makes me wanna take a back road
  A5
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G5
Put a little gravel in my travel
  A5
Unwind, unravel all night long
D5
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A5
Tear down some two lane country
      G5
Who knows
                                                 A5
Get lost and get right with my soul
               D5                              A5           G5       A5
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road
