Back Roads and Rainy Days
Early to bed and early to rise
church bells a ringin' as I'm headin' out of town
gotta be in Memphis before the sun goes down
iffin I wanna get paid
cup of coffee and a mornin' kiss
if this ain't country I don't know what is
dialin' down the radio tryin' to find a song about you
I got miles of old back roads rainy days and heavy loads
come from California it'll be a couple days
we can sit by the shore we can sit by the lake
dialin' down the radio tryin' to find a song about you
Woke up alone in my hotel room
the sound of citys comin' through the walls
try to get you last night for a late night call
but you must of gone to bed
I could never live like this
people in the city livin' fast and hard
I could fit this whole town on daddy's farm
and that's got me thinkin' 'bout you
Miles and miles of old back roads
rainy days and heavy loads
I've gone through Oklahoma and I'm right on time
I drive all day and most of the night
dialin' down the radio tryin' to find a song about you
Climbin' up the ladder and all things change
it's all carry on luggage and subway trains
I'd trade in this airport for an old truck stop
the rat race is on
So kick off your shoes and take off you suite
mess up your hair and pull on your boots
put on your jeans and turn up the tunes
and that's got me thinkin' about you
Miles and miles of old back roads
rainy days and heavy loads
gone through Mississipi and I'll be home soon
we can sit on the porch and look at the moon
gone through Alabama and I'm right on time
about ten miles past that Georgia line
dialin' down the radio tryin' to find a song about you
Dialin' down the radio tryin' to find a song about you
