Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 i've been on the grand ole opry, i played a show with ZZ top

 went on tour with Skynyrd, and man they still rock

 shot the bull with Bocephus, before he climbed up on his jet

 played south Florida with Alan Jackson, thats some things at ya never forget

 And all that stuff it makes you feel real good, but not near as good

(Chorus)

 As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home

 A splash a Jack in my coke, Catchin' brim on a Zebco

 spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal

 huggin' mama before i go, flyin' down a backroad

(verse 2)

 up there in Des Moines, they knew my songs line by line

 i just stood there in the fake smoke, another dream came true that night

 ive seen so many places, i never thought id see

 all the way from California, to as far as you can go east

 and all that stuff it makes you feel real good, but not near as good

(chorus)

 As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home

 A splash a Jack in my coke, Catchin' brim on a Zebco

 spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal

 huggin' mama before i go, flyin' down a backroad

(bridge)

 im a lucky man ive got a real good life,

 but with all the things ive done, nothing gets me as high

(chorus)

 As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home

 A splash a Jack in my coke,and Catchin' brim on a Zebco

 spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal

 huggin'my mama before i go, Yeah flyin' down a backroooooad oh yeah

  oh flyin down a backroad
