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  


   
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  

   
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
