Back Roads Songtext
von Ingrid Chavez

You say wake up, wake up
Stop dreaming on my time
But I say no, no, no
Just let me sleep, is it a crime?
I hear the clocks tick tock
But I′m not jumping out of bed, no
Until the path is clear
You'll find me here dreaming up a storm

I don′t want to climb the ladder, no
I don't want to take the highway, no
I just want to take the back roads, baby
I just have to do it my way
I just have to do it my way now

And I know you think you're right
Maybe you are
But I′m putting up a fight this time
And there′s nothing you can say now

The road is open and I'm on my way
So I′ll be taking the back roads


The wind in the trees whispers all I need to know
About the weather up ahead, should I stay or should I go
And there's a beauty in the open road
I don′t want to miss a sign, so I'll take my time

I don′t want to climb the ladder, no
I don't want to take the highway, no
I just want to take the back roads, baby
I just have to do it my way
I just have to do it my way now
And I know you think you're right

But I′m putting up a fight this time
And there′s nothing you can say now

The road is open and I'm on my way
So I′ll be taking the back roads

This time, I'm taking the back roads
And there′s nothing, nothing, nothing you can say
To change my way
I'm taking the back roads

I don′t want to climb the ladder, no
I don't want to take the highway
I just want to take the back roads, baby
I just have to do it my way
I just have to do it my way now


This time, I'm taking the back roads
And there′s nothing, nothing, nothing you can say
To change my way
