This is a country song I wrote called "Take the Backroads". I JUST got it copyrighted...
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Riding in an old rusty truck
with 2 poles and a tackle box
easin' down an old country road
nothin' fancy just dirt and rock
Heading down to the fishin' hole
yeah, just another summer day
me and grandpa taking our time
he leaned over and I heard him say...
Chorus:
Yeah, we'll take the backroads
take it slow
with the windows down
let the warm breeze blow
we'll just take it easy
side by side
yeah, we'll take the backroads
you and I
Verse 2:
Dressed up and runnin' late
a rough start to my first date
with reservations to her favorite place
picked her up she was lookin' great
I had it planned out perfectly
til the gas tank went on E
we had to push about a quarter mile
but she looked at me and smiled
Chorus
(Instrumental Break)
Verse 3:
We got married and we settled down
a few kids and a little house
said hey baby you could use a break
clear your calendar we're goin' out
took her to a nice restaurant
she said it made think of our first date
I said well the babysitter's there until late
how about for old time's sake...
Chorus
Bridge
Now I'm all old and gray
drivin' my grandboy to the lake
But traffic's blocked on the interstate
I looked over said I guess we'll take...
Chorus
Yeah, you and I...
