Take A Back Road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Sittin' in six lane backed up traffic
[A]Horns a honkin', I've about had it
I'm [G]lookin' for an exit sign
Gotta [Em]get outta here, get it all off my mind
[D]Then like a memory
from your grandpa's attic
A [A]song comes slippin'
through the radio static
[G]Changin' my mood, a little George Strait 1982

[Chorus 1]
And it [D]makes me wanna take a back road
[A]Makes me wanna take the long way home
[Em]Put a little gravel in my travel
Un[G]wind, unravel all night long
[D]Makes me wanna grab my honey
Tear [A]down some two lane country
who [Em]knows
Get lost and [F#m]get right with my so[G]ul
Makes me wanna take,

[Interlude 1]
makes me wanna take a back
[D](ro[A]ad)[Em][G]

[Verse 2]
I've been [D]cooped up,
tied down 'bout forgotten
What a [A]field looks like full of corn and cotton
If I'm [G]gonna hit a traffic jam
Well it [Em]better be a tractor man
So [D]sick and tired of this interstate system
[A]I need the curvin', windin', twistin'
[Em]Dusty path to nowhere
With the [G]wind blowin' through my baby's hair

[Chorus 2]
Yeah it [D]makes me wanna take a back road
[A]Makes me wanna take the long way home
[Em]Put a little gravel in my travel
Un[G]wind, unravel all night long
[D]Makes me wanna grab my honey
Tear [A]down some two lane country
who [Em]knows
Get lost and [F#m]get right with my so[G]ul
Makes me wanna take,

[Solo 1]
makes me wanna take a back
[D](road) Some old bac[A]k road
[Em][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Maybe it's the feelin'
[A]Or maybe it's the freedom
[Em]Maybe it's that shady spot
Where we [G]park the truck when things get hot
Girl we park the truck when things get hot

[Chorus 3]
And it [D]makes me wanna take a back road
[A]Makes me wanna take the long way home
[Em]Put a little gravel in my travel
Un[G]wind, unravel all night long
[D]Makes me wanna grab you honey
Tear [A]down some two lane country
who [Em]knows
Get lost and [F#m]get right with my so[G]ul
Makes me wanna take,

[Outro 1]
makes me wanna take a back
[D](road) Some old bac[A]k road
Get back with my [Em]soul
Now [G]all I gotta do is take some old [D]back road
To the [A]shady spot
where things get hot [Em]girl
Way [G]down, way down,
way down some old back road
