Key:
D The back roads of this county
Cadd9 Cross like the laces on my boots
G/D And I’ve been running ‘em down
D Since I was able to
D I left home at nineteen,
Cadd9 And swore I was never going back
G/D Nights like this I wish
D That’s where I was at. [Chorus]
Cadd9 D Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rock
Cadd9 There’s a party on a dead end road
D We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t show
Cadd9 Somebody is looking for a fight
D It’s gonna be that kind of night
C G/D When I get too far from home
D I go find me a back road.

Cadd9,G/D,G,D [Verse]
D Cadd9 I remember the summer, I turned sixteen
G/D D I made out with a girl in the back of her hatchback Chevrolet
D Cadd9 And I drank my first beer, on the Louisiana state line
G/D D My first night to see the other side [Chorus]
Cadd9 D Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rock
Cadd9 There’s a party on a dead end road
D We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t show
Cadd9 Somebody is looking for a fight
D It’s gonna be that kind of night
C G/D When I get too far from home
D I go find me a back road. [Bridge]
Cadd9 D I heard ‘em tell me, son don’t forget where you come from
Cadd9 D And I never have, and I still like to beat that drum
Cadd9 D From the river bottoms, to the tall pine trees
A If forever will be right here inside of me [Chorus]
Cadd9 D Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rock
Cadd9 There’s a party on a dead end road
D We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t show
Cadd9 Somebody is looking for a fight
D It’s gonna be that kind of night
Cadd9 G/D F When I get too far from home
D I go find me a back road. [Other]
Cadd9 G/D When I get too far from home
D I go find me a back road.
