D The back roads of this countyCadd9 Cross like the laces on my bootsG/D And I’ve been running ‘em downD Since I was able toD I left home at nineteen,Cadd9 And swore I was never going backG/D Nights like this I wishD That’s where I was at. [Chorus]Cadd9 D Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rockCadd9 There’s a party on a dead end roadD We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t showCadd9 Somebody is looking for a fightD It’s gonna be that kind of nightC G/D When I get too far from homeD I go find me a back road.Continues after the adCadd9,G/D,G,D [Verse]D Cadd9 I remember the summer, I turned sixteenG/D D I made out with a girl in the back of her hatchback ChevroletD Cadd9 And I drank my first beer, on the Louisiana state lineG/D D My first night to see the other side [Chorus]Cadd9 D Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rockCadd9 There’s a party on a dead end roadD We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t showCadd9 Somebody is looking for a fightD It’s gonna be that kind of nightC G/D When I get too far from homeD I go find me a back road. [Bridge]Cadd9 D I heard ‘em tell me, son don’t forget where you come fromCadd9 D And I never have, and I still like to beat that drumCadd9 D From the river bottoms, to the tall pine treesA If forever will be right here inside of me [Chorus]Cadd9 D Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rockCadd9 There’s a party on a dead end roadD We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t showCadd9 Somebody is looking for a fightD It’s gonna be that kind of nightCadd9 G/D F When I get too far from homeD I go find me a back road.
