        C
Man I'm burnin' it out 'n I need a vacation
     G
From rolling around all across this nation

Some backwoods place where people live but don't speak

Verse 2:
      C
Wanna jump in the truck and head out and go
    G
Way down south in rural Idaho
     Am                                     G
On a side road where you can still camp for free

Cuz this whole world and all its people are crazy
  G

Don't need nuthin' perfect just some pine trees and peaks

Chorus:
C
Fording the water that's only a trickle
G
Mustard and dogs, and maybe a pickle

C
Holes are so bad, might get hung on the road
G
Snoring along with the crickets and toads
   F                                                    G
I don't need it perfect, and it don't need perfect from me

C
Once upon a time it started like this

Wanna spend your life with me

          Am                                     G
I need to take myself where people just ain't so mean

Cuz there's only few places left in the world

A best guy can make out with his favorite girl

Then do it again after raising their family
