Take A Backroad chords by Rodney Atkins

Chords with lyrics

Capo 1

Verse 1
D MajorD
Sittin in six lane backed up traffic
A augmentedA
Horns a honkin, I've about had it
G+G
I'm lookin for an exit sign
      A augmentedA
Gotta get outta here, get it all off my mind
D MajorD
And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
A augmentedA
A majorA song comes slippin through the radio static
G+G
Changin my mood
      A augmentedA
A majorA little George Strait 1982

Chorus:
D MajorD
And it makes me wanna take a back road
 A augmentedA
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G+G
Put a little gravel in my travel
 A augmentedA
Unwind, unravel all night long
D MajorD
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A augmentedA
Tear down some two lane country
   G+G
Who knows
    	   	   	      A augmentedA
Get lost and get right with my soul
  	   D MajorD 	   	     A augmentedA      G+G    A augmentedA
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road


Verse 2
D MajorD
I've been cooped up, tied down
  	   	      A augmentedA
'Bout forgotten what a field looks like full of corn and cotton
    G+G
If I'm gonna hit a traffic jam
  	  A augmentedA
Well it better be a tractor man
 D MajorD
So sick and tired of this interstate system
 A augmentedA	   	   	   	      G+G
I need the curvin, windin, twistin dusty path to nowhere
  	  A augmentedA
With the wind blowin through my baby's hair

Chorus:
D MajorD
And it makes me wanna take a back road
 A augmentedA
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G+G
Put a little gravel in my travel
 A augmentedA
Unwind, unravel all night long
D MajorD
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A augmentedA
Tear down some two lane country
   G+G
Who knows
    	   	   	      A augmentedA
Get lost and get right with my soul
  	   D MajorD 	   	     A augmentedA      G+G    A augmentedA
