Backroads Lyrics - Singles - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO) 

well I sleep like a feather 

I don't worry 'bout the weather 

I take backroads, wherever I go 

and I can't take no chances 

'cause I sure ain't got no answers 

I take the backroads, wherever I go 

those four-lane freeways ain't got nothin' for me 

just gimme a six pack and a '50 Mercury 

and I'll be rollin' 

over them backroads of my home 

over them backroads of my home 

well I don't let things get risky 

'cause I might be drinkin' whisky 

out on them backroads of my home 

you don't see no hitchhikers 

ain't no semi-trucks or bikers 

out on them backroads of my home 

them four-lane freeways ain't got nothin' for me 

and that all night rollin' to be where you got to be 

it ain't nowhere 

gimme them backroads of my home 

gimme them backroads of my home 

(GUITAR SOLO) 

I've been busted for speedin' 

I've been busted up and bleedin' 

out on them backroads of my home 

and you just might see me swimmin' 

you might see me chase big women 

over them backroads of my home 

those four-lane freeways ain't got nothin' for me 

just gimme a six pack and a '50 Mercury 

and I'll be rollin' 

over them backroads of my home 

over them backroads of my home 

over them backroads of my home 

over them backroads of my home 

over them backroads of my home 

over them backroads of my home
