Take A Backroad

Capo 1 

Verse 1
 
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 

  

[Refrão]
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

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