I'll take the back roads home
through the open countryside
Letting things slip by in
drawn out time
I'll take the long way home on
the back roads of this life
Taking time to see what goes by
Come in and go in
There's no dividing line
What you're headed for,
someone left behind
An d the shortest road
ain't always the be st
Sometime let a back road
take you home
And a back road is so easy it
just rambles on and on
Take it or leave it, as it rolls along,
drifts through things it cannot change and doesn't
even try.
Wouldn't that be something for you and
I?
Come in and go in, there's no dividing line,
what you're heading for, someone left behind.
And the shortest road ain't always the be st,
sometime let a back road take you home.
In any place you're bound, well,
you'll get there some day.
You're the one who chooses
what you see along the way.
And when the heartaches seem too
much for you to bear
There's a back road wind
ing everywhere
Come in and go in
There's no dividing line
What you're heading for,
someone left behind
An d the shortest road ain't
always the be st
Sometime let a back road take
you home
Sometime let a back road take you home
