Back Roads lyrics

VERSE 1The back roads of this countyCross like the laces on my bootsAnd I've been running ‘em downSince I was able toI left home at nineteen,Swore I was never coming backNights like this I wishThat's where I was atCHORUSSlow pokin' down a blacktop, cutting tires on the white rockThere's a party on a dead end roadWe're just hoping that the cops don't showSomebody is looking for a fightIt's gonna be that kind of nightWhen I get too far from homeI go find me a back roadVERSE 2I remember the summer, that I turned sixteenI made out with a girl, in the back of her hatchback ChevroletAnd I drank my first beer, on the Louisiana state lineMy first night to see the other sideCHORUSBRIDGEI heard ‘em tell me, son don't forget where you came fromAnd I never have, and I still like to beat that drumFrom the river bottoms, to the tall pine treesIt will forever be right here inside of meCHORUS
