Backroads Lyrics


(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)
well I sleep like a feather
I don't worry 'bout the weather
I take backroads, wherever I go
and I can't take no chances
'cause I sure ain't got no answers
I take the backroads, wherever I gothose four-lane freeways ain't got nothin' for me
just gimme a six pack and a '50 Mercury
and I'll be rollin'
over them backroads of my home
over them backroads of my homewell I don't let things get risky
'cause I might be drinkin' whisky
out on them backroads of my home
you don't see no hitchhikers
ain't no semi-trucks or bikers
out on them backroads of my homethem four-lane freeways ain't got nothin' for me
and that all night rollin' to be where you got to be
it ain't nowhere

gimme them backroads of my home
gimme them backroads of my home
(GUITAR SOLO)I've been busted for speedin'
I've been busted up and bleedin'
out on them backroads of my home
and you just might see me swimmin'
you might see me chase big women
over them backroads of my homethose four-lane freeways ain't got nothin' for me
just gimme a six pack and a '50 Mercury
and I'll be rollin'over them backroads of my home
over them backroads of my home
over them backroads of my home
over them backroads of my home
over them backroads of my home
over them backroads of my home

Miss Derringer is a Los Angeles based alternative country/goth rock band fronted by singer and underground artist Elizabeth McGrath and her husband/songwriter Morgan Slade. Miss Derringer is heavily influenced by American music of the late 50s and early 60s - particularly the vintage sounds of outlaw country, early 60s girl group pop. The band's lyrics deal with "honkytonk" subjects like prison, poverty, sobriety, God, death, marriage, murder, and alcohol.
