[Verse 1] Gravel under my tires Dust on the fence post Map dots fade away Where the old road bends slow Mailbox leaning sideways Cornfield on my right You can keep that main drag I want the county line [Pre-Chorus] Take me where the blacktop quits Where the tall grass moves Take me past the bait shop sign And the rusted tools Little blue porch light Shining through the haze If you know, you know It ain't a place, it's a way [Chorus] Country back roads, take me home Country back roads, let me roam Turn it slow, let it roll Country back roads, take me home (Back roads) yeah, that’s my lane (Back roads) write my name Mud on the fenders, dust on my clothes Country back roads, take me home [Verse 2] Old dog barking at the gate Kids by the creek bed Mama on the front steps Calling me in for bread Beer in the cooler, boots by the door Screen door slappin’ loud Whole town knows your business Still I love that crowd [Pre-Chorus] Take me where the blacktop quits Where the tall grass moves Take me past the bait shop sign And the rusted tools Little blue porch light Shining through the haze If you know, you know It ain't a place, it's a way [Chorus] Country back roads, take me home Country back roads, let me roam Turn it slow, let it roll Country back roads, take me home (Back roads) yeah, that’s my lane (Back roads) write my name Mud on the fenders, dust on my clothes Country back roads, take me home [Bridge] Where the river cuts deep And the stars hang low Where my heart learned early How to move real slow If I ever lose my way I know what I'll do Find that worn-out turn And follow it back to you [Chorus] Country back roads, take me home Country back roads, let me roam Turn it slow, let it roll Country back roads, take me home (Back roads) yeah, that’s my lane (Back roads) write my name Mud on the fenders, dust on my clothes Country back roads, take me home
