Out On The Back roads Verse man I love the smell of fresh cut grass in the air on a summer day and I've had my fill of these city streets and I think it's time to get away find me a red dirt trail with an old scarecrow under a big shade tree where life is slow out on the back roads Verse you might think the houses around here are looking rough That folks ain't got much But it ain't nothing that a new coat of paint wont fix Take a closer look cause their filled with love Kick back on a river bank with an ole cane pole watching the sunset I'm watching the weeds grow out on the back roads Chorus: It ain't far from the city light's where the stars shine bright and the harvest moon still glows Where crickets sing in harmony with the whippoorwill and the peaceful rivers flow and corn still grows out on the back roads verse: Old folks sittin on the front porch swing sippin sweet tea and shelling beans as the cars go by see that old pick up truck? yeh it's a fixer-up sittin on blocks in that gravel drive a rusty ole tractor waving me on by he's headin for a field to plow you know it all takes time out on the back roads Verse: I was raised in a place like this You don't miss it until it's gone Couldn't wait till the day I turned 18 and I was on my own Chased my dreams to the city life now I'm back where I belong and it just feels right out on the back roads Chorus: It ain't far from the city light's where the stars shine bright and the harvest moon still glows Where crickets sing in harmony with the whippoorwill and the peaceful rivers flow and corn still grows out on the back roads Writers Joe Tyler and Mike Poore 2010 In Cocoa Beach Florida
