Intro: D  

 D              C 
 When I lose my smile 
 G                    D 
 When my thoughts get jumbled 
 G 
 When the air and BS get too thick 
 G 
 Can’t take a breath without getting sick 
 D 
 I’ve had enough with this concrete jungle 
 D                  C 
 I drop my truck in drive 
 D 
 I pick up my baby 
 G 
 She jumps in with a kiss and a hey 
 G 
 We exit off that old highway 
 D 
 Sometimes you gotta go beyond the pavement 

Chorus 
 D 
 You gotta go deep 
 D 
 Way on back 
 D 
 Cross a few creeks 
 A 
 And a couple little shacks 
 D 
 You gotta get lost 
 D 
 Way on out 
 D 
 Crickets and frogs 
 A 
 Yeah you’re gettin’ close now 
 Bm                              A                         G 
 And you kick it into four wheel drive when you run out of road 
 G 
 And you go, and you go and you go-go-go 
                       D 
 ‘Til you hear a banjo 
 D              C 
 It ain’t on no map 
 G               D 
 And I’m glad it isn’t 
 G 
 Leave the phone and the GPS, 
 G 
 Those satellites ain’t found it yet, 
 D 
 Got our own little piece of heaven hidden 

Chorus 
 D 
 Yeah, you gotta go deep 
 D 
 Way on back 
 D 
 Cross a few creeks 
 A 
 And a couple little shacks 
 D 
 You gotta get lost 
 D 
 Way on out 
 D 
 Crickets and frogs 
 A 
 Yeah you’re gettin’ close now 
 Bm                              A                         G 
 And you kick it into four wheel drive when you run out of road 
 G 
 And you go, and you go and you go-go-go 
                      D 
 ‘Til you hear a banjo 
 D 
 You gotta go deep 
 D 
 Way on back 
 D 
 Cross a few creeks 
 A 
 And a couple little shacks 
 D 
 You gotta get lost 
 D 
 Way on out 
 D 
 Crickets and frogs 
 A 
 Yeah you’re gettin’ close now 
 Bm                              A                         G 
 And you kick it into four wheel drive when you run out of road 
 G 
 And you go, and you go and you go and you go and you go 
        D 
Oooh hoo 

‘Til you hear that banjo 
        D 
 Kick it 
 D 
 You gotta go deep 
 D 
 Way on back 
 Oh oh oh 
 D 
 Cross a few creeks 
 D 
 And a couple little shacks 
 Oh oh oh 
 D 
 Four wheel drive when you run out of road 
 Oh oh oh 
 D 
 And you go and you go, and you go 
 Til you hear that, ‘til you hear that 
 Til you hear that banjo
