Drop-D
[Verse]
D
The back roads of this county
Cadd9
Cross like the laces on my boots
G/D
And I’ve been running ‘em down
D
Since I was able to
D
I left home at nineteen,
Cadd9
And swore I was never going back
G/D
Nights like this I wish
D
That’s where I was at.
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rock
Cadd9
There’s a party on a dead end road
D
We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t show
Cadd9
Somebody is looking for a fight
D
It’s gonna be that kind of night
C G/D
When I get too far from home
D
I go find me a back road.
Cadd9,G/D,G,D
[Verse]
D Cadd9
I remember the summer, I turned sixteen
G/D D
I made out with a girl in the back of her hatchback Chevrolet
D Cadd9
And I drank my first beer, on the Louisiana state line
G/D D
My first night to see the other side
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rock
Cadd9
There’s a party on a dead end road
D
We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t show
Cadd9
Somebody is looking for a fight
D
It’s gonna be that kind of night
C G/D
When I get too far from home
D
I go find me a back road.
[Bridge]
Cadd9 D
I heard ‘em tell me, son don’t forget where you come from
Cadd9 D
And I never have, and I still like to beat that drum
Cadd9 D
From the river bottoms, to the tall pine trees
A
If forever will be right here inside of me
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rock
Cadd9
There’s a party on a dead end road
D
We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t show
Cadd9
Somebody is looking for a fight
D
It’s gonna be that kind of night
Cadd9 G/D F
When I get too far from home
D
I go find me a back road.
[Outro]
Cadd9 G/D
When I get too far from home
D
I go find me a back road.
