Ricky Van Shelton - Backroads Lyrics

I got the radio blasting I got the windows rolled down
And I’m cruising these back roads on the outskirts of town
And I can feel the wind a-blowing hear the big engines whine
When I’m cruising these back roads all my trouble are behind

Well when I woke up this morning well I took me a look outside
It was plain to see it was one of those days tailor made for taking a ride
So I went down town and cleared my head with coffee and cigarettes
And when it hit me right there then my mind was set

Well I phoned work and told them they gonna be a man short today
I got the sunny day blues there’s only one thing that’s gonna make them go away
So I went out and I climbed into my big old Chevrolet
And with the turn of the key and cloud of dust I was on my way

I got the radio blasting I got the windows rolled down
And I’m cruising these back roads on the outskirts of town
And I can feel the wind a-blowing hear the big engines whine
When I’m cruising these back roads all my trouble are behind

Well maybe I did and maybe I didn’t go and lose my job today
Well you can take my past and take my worries and blow them all away
Because there comes a time in everyman’s life when he got to break free
I got four good wheels and an endless road stretched out in front of me

I got the radio blasting I got the windows rolled down
And I’m cruising these back roads on the outskirts of town
And I can feel the wind a-blowing hear the big engines whine
When I’m cruising these back roads all my trouble are behind

I got the radio blasting I got the windows rolled down
And I’m cruising these back roads on the outskirts of town
And I can feel the wind a-blowing hear the big engines whine
When I’m cruising these back roads all my trouble are behind
