[Verse]
The back roads of this county
Cross like the laces on my boots
And Iâve been running âem down
Since I was able to
I left home at nineteen,
And swore I was never going back
Nights like this I wish
Thatâs where I was at.
[Chorus]
Slow pokinâ down a blacktop, cuttinâ tires on the white rock
Thereâs a party on a dead end road
Weâre just hopinâ that the cops donât show
Somebody is looking for a fight
Itâs gonna be that kind of night
When I get too far from home
I go find me a back road.

[Verse]
I remember the summer, I turned sixteen
I made out with a girl in the back of her hatchback Chevrolet
And I drank my first beer, on the Louisiana state line
My first night to see the other side
[Chorus]
Slow pokinâ down a blacktop, cuttinâ tires on the white rock
Thereâs a party on a dead end road
Weâre just hopinâ that the cops donât show
Somebody is looking for a fight
Itâs gonna be that kind of night
When I get too far from home
I go find me a back road.
[Bridge]
I heard âem tell me, son donât forget where you come from
And I never have, and I still like to beat that drum
From the river bottoms, to the tall pine trees
If forever will be right here inside of me
[Chorus]
Slow pokinâ down a blacktop, cuttinâ tires on the white rock
Thereâs a party on a dead end road
Weâre just hopinâ that the cops donât show
Somebody is looking for a fight
Itâs gonna be that kind of night
When I get too far from home
I go find me a back road.
[Outro]
When I get too far from home
I go find me a back road.
