Well, I see you’re stuck in the traffic again
with your Mercedes Benz.
Got a cell phone in your ear,
is it true that the work never ends?
Don’t be whinin’ and cryin’ to me
You gotta set aside a little bit of time to see.
Let it all go and follow me down
A less traveled road on the outskirts of town, yeah.
CHORUS
I’ll take the backroads.
I’ll take the backroads anytime.
I’ll take the backroads.
Anyone I pass will surely be a friend of mine.
Got a V-twin rumble and I don’t need
more than two wheels.
A little wind in my hair and the freedom
of the way it feels.
Take a few curves a little close to line;
flirtin’ with disaster makes you feel fine.
Pardon me, ma’am, if my pipes are loud,
It’s American steel and deserves
to be proud, yeah.
