Take a Back Road Rodney Atkins
Standard Tuning
Capo 1
Verse 1
[D]Sittin in six lane backed up traffic
[A]Horns a honkin, I've about had it
[G]I'm lookin for an exit sign
Gotta get ou[A]tta here, get it all off my mind
[D]And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
[A]A song comes slippin through the radio static
[G]Changin my mood
A little Ge[A]orge Strait 1982
Chorus:
[D]And it makes me wanna take a back road
Ma[A]kes me wanna take the long way home
[G]Put a little gravel in my travel
Un[A]wind, unravel all night long
[D]Makes me wanna grab my honey
[A]Tear down some two lane country
Who kn[G]ows
Get lost and get right with my soul[A]
Makes me wann[D]a take, makes me wanna take a[A] back road[G] [A]
Verse 2
[D]I've been cooped up, tied down
'Bout forgotten what a field[A] looks like full of corn and cotton
If I'm [G]gonna hit a traffic jam
Well it bet[A]ter be a tractor man
So[D] sick and tired of this interstate system
I [A]need the curvin, windin, twistin dusty pat[G]h to nowhere
With the win[A]d blowin through my baby's hair
Chorus:
[D]And it makes me wanna take a back road
Ma[A]kes me wanna take the long way home
[G]Put a little gravel in my travel
Un[A]wind, unravel all night long
[D]Makes me wanna grab my honey
[A]Tear down some two lane country
Who kn[G]ows
Get lost and get right with my soul[A]
Makes me wanna[D] take, makes me wanna take a[A] back road [G] [A]
