[Verse 1] Threw the map out the window Watched it fade in the rearview Sometimes you gotta lose sight Just to get a clear view Cooler in the truck bed Bottles sweating on the ice Tank half full of hopes and dreams Guess I'll go and roll the dice [Pre-Chorus] I ain't looking for a shortcut I ain't racing the dark I'm just trying to miss my own life For a few good miles apart [Chorus] Take me down that back road Take me where I don't know Cooler full of cold ones And a bag of green to roll (bag of green to roll) If I end up nowhere Well, nowhere feels like home Take me down that back road Let me get a little lost, slow [Verse 2] Passing signs with the paint gone Passing amber waves of grain Passing the smoke to all the friends I've lost That I'll see another day Windows down, warm June air Cutting sharp through my hair Seems every wrong turn I take Somehow leads me back there [Pre-Chorus] I ain't looking for a shortcut I ain't racing the dark I'm just trying to miss my own life For a few good miles apart [Chorus] Take me down that back road Take me where I don't know Cooler full of cold ones And a bag of green to roll (bag of green to roll) If I end up nowhere Well, nowhere feels like home Take me down that back road Let me get a little lost, slow [Bridge] Maybe when the sun comes up I'll find my way back in But tonight this dusty country road Is my closest friend Let the miles keep slipping Let the oak trees blur I came out here to lose myself And remember who I was before [Chorus] Take me down that back road Take me where I don't know Cooler full of cold ones And a bag of green to roll (bag of green to roll) If I end up nowhere Well, nowhere feels like home Take me down that back road Let me get a little lost, slow
