Backroads Lyrics - Singles - Ricky Van Shelton

CHORUS 

I've got the radio blastin' 

I've got the windows rolled down 

And I'm cruisin' these backroads 

on the outskirts of town 

I can feel the wind a-blowin' 

Hear the big engines whine 

When I'm cruisin' these backroads 

All my troubles are behind 

Well when I woke up this morning 

Well I took me a look outside 

It was plain to see it was one of those days 

tailor-made for taking a ride 

So I went downstairs and cleared my head 

with coffee and cigarettes 

And when it hit me right there 

then my mind was set 

Well I phoned work and told'em 

they're going to be a man short today 

I got the sunny day blues, there's only one thing 

that's gonna make them go away 

So I went out and I climbed in to my big ol' Chevrolet 

And with a turn of the key and a cloud of dust 

I was on my way 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Well maybe I did maybe I didn't 

Go and lose my job today 

But you can take my cares, take my worries 

and blow them all away 

For there comes a time in any man's life 

when he's got to break free 

I got four good wheels and an endless road 

Stretched out in front of me 

REPEAT CHORUS 

REPEAT CHORUS
