Backroads Songtext
von The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Well I sleep like a feather
I don′t worry 'bout the weather
I take the backroads wherever I go
And I can′t take no chances
'Cause I sure ain't got no answers
I take the backroads wherever I go

Them four-lane freeways ain′t got nothin′ for me
Just give me a six-pack and a '52 Mercury
And I′ll be rolling
Over them backroads of my home
Over them backroads of my home

Now don't let things get frisky
′Cause I might be drinking whiskey
Out on the backroads of my home
You don't see no hitchhikers
In no semi trucks or bikers
Out on them backroads of my home


Them four-lane freeways ain′t got nothin' for me
And that all-night roll in to be where you got to be
It ain't no way
Gimme them backroads of my home
Gimme them backroads of my home

I′ve been busted for speeding
I′ve been busted up and bleeding
Out on the backroads of my home
Well you just might see me swimming
You might see me chasing women
Over them backroads of my home

Them four-lane freeways ain't got nothin′ for me
Just give me a six-pack and a '52 Mercury
And I′ll be rolling

Over them backroads of my home
Over them backroads of my home
Over them backroads of my home
I take the backroads of my home
Backroads
Backroads
Backroads
I take the backroads of my home
