(Note - it sounds like he tunes down 1/2 step and is playing G, Em C, D - I am
putting this in standard tuning)
Capo 4
D Bm
Well I'm sick of all these city lights
G A
Paying too much money for a good time
D Bm
Rather call some friends of mine
G A
Say there's a place that ain't hard to find
D Bm
It's just two lefts, one right
G A
A beat up barn on the county line
D Bm
Ain't too far for a truck or car
G G/F# Em A
Yeah I know a place we can go
Chorus:
D Bm G A
On the backroads
D Bm G A
And we can crank up that radio
D Bm
Just bring an ice chest full of beer
G A
Ain't nothin' but hay fields out here
D Bm
And everything's gonna be all right
G G/F# Em A
The dance floor's made of dirt tonight
D Bm G A
On the backroads
D Bm G A
Yeah back on the backroads
When you get close, you better drive slow
Cause this old road's full of potholes
Just flip your brights a couple times
So we all know you ain't the PoPo
Yeah we're all here on country time
Tearin' it up under cargo lights
We might stay here all night
Wake up to that morning sunrise
Chorus
Chorus 2:
Yeah back on the backroads
We can crank up that radio
Yeah just bring your beer or alcohol
Hell you can even bring your dog
If you get lost, just give me a call
We're tearin' it up all night long
On the backroads
Yeah back on the backroads
Aw yeah
