Apalachee Don, Matt “Manchild” Marshall, Byrd Dog
Country roads, take me home
To a backwoods creek
Down a long dirt road
If it means, an ol’ headstone
At least I’ll be, I’ll be where I belong
I represent the country
Ye, I love the slums
Raised off in the sticks
Man this where I come from
Love cracklin’ cornbread
Collared and corn fed
Southern by the grace of God
And when I’m gone, country dead
I ride them dirt roads
With some time to reach that destination
Ducked off in Jones’ wood
It’s like I’m always on vacation
Blaze up the bonfire
Callin’ up my country folk
Just filled up that Mason jar
Light the pine and take a smoke
It’s all good, we all fine
Big Marcus brought the moonshine
Kid Rock in the dashboard
Peaches shakin’ in the moonlight
It’s something about them back roads
Stretching out across the county line
It takes me back to my days of young
When my grandma was my sunshine
I love all the things that the country bring
Backwood ridin’ little country lane
On the front porch with my girl and kid
‘Cause the smell of an evenin’ country rain
May not mean that much to some
But to me it’s where my heart belongs
I’m callin’ on them country roads
Them the ones that take me home
Country roads (country roads)
Take me home (take me home)
To a backwoods creek (to a backwoods creek)
Down a long dirt road (sideways down that old dirt road)
If it means, an ol’ headstone
At least I’ll be (I’ll be) I’ll be where I belong
Them country roads mean a lot to me
Georgia mountains, Carolinas Cherokee
Smokey mountains in the hills of Tennessee
If you’re like me, you probably agree
It’s like somethin’ good, like somethin’ sweet
Like somethin’ great, like ma-maw’s tea
Raised to be how I wanted to be
At the end of the road some tips for free
Not tryin’ to put out no CD
But these country roads are so pretty
Times I feel so young for what I know
And there’s no place like home
I like the hear some creek water flowin’
Down, that’s the road I’m goin’
Hell yea, that’s where I belong
While we’re gettin’ there
We’re all singin’ along
Country roads (country roads)
Take me home (take me home)
To a backwoods creek (To a backwoods creek)
Down a long dirt road (Sideways down that old dirt road)
If it means, an ol’ headstone
At least I’ll be (I’ll be) I’ll be where I belong
Country roads (country roads)
(Take me home)
To a backwoods creek (To a backwoods creek)
(Sideways down that old dirt road)
If it means, an ol’ headstone
At least I’ll be
I’ll be where I belong
