Verse 1
I'll take the backroads home through the open country side.
Letting things slip by.......in drawn out time...I'll
take the long way home on the backroads of this life
..taking time to see what goes by.
Chorus
Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're
headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road
ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home
Verse 2
A back road is so easy, it just rambles on and on.
Take it or leave it,....as rolls along.
Drifts through things it cannot change, and doesn't
even try. Wouldn't that be something for you and I.
Chorus
Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're
headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road
ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home
Verse 3
Anyplace you're bound, you'll get there someday.
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 winding everywhere.
Chorus
Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're
headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road
ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home
