[Intro]
E
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tracy Lawrence
[Verse 1]
E
Some people pile in the church on Sunday
E B
To talk to the man upstairs
C#m A
Some people drown in a fifth of Crown
E
When life seems a little more there
E
Some people like to roll one up
E
When their world starts rollin' down hill
B C#m A E
That ain't how I roll and I doubt it's how I ever will (Yeah)
[Chorus]
C#m A
'Cause I'm sittin' out here, drinkin' this cold beer
E
With the tailgates down in the sticks
C#m A
When I'm stuck without a paddle in an upstream battle
E B
It's nothin' this gravel can't fix
C#m A E
Yeah, sometimes I gotta get lost when I can't take no more
C#m A E
I guess that's what they make backroads for (Yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
C#m A E
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
C#m A E
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Tell 'em Jake
[Verse 2]
E
Yeah, I'm alright with them downtown nights
E B
With the streets, and the lights, and the bars
C#m A
But the crickets don't chirp and your phone still works
E
And you can't even see the stars
E
Between the highway pace and the interstate race
E B
Man, you gotta unplug sometimes
C#m A E
So I'm slowin' it down, and I'll be slowing it down all night
That's right
[Chorus]
C#m A
I'll be sittin' out here, drinkin' this cold beer
E
With the tailgates down in the sticks
C#m A
When I'm stuck without a paddle in an upstream battle
E B
It's nothin' this gravel can't fix
C#m A E
Yeah sometimes I gotta get lost when I can't take no more
C#m A E
I guess that's what they make backroads for (Yeah)
[Instrumental Bridge]
C#m A E (X2)
[Chorus]
C#m A
I'm just sittin' out here, drinkin' this cold beer
E
With the tailgates down in the sticks
C#m A
When I'm stuck without a paddle in an upstream battle
E B
It's nothin' this gravel can't fix
C#m A E
Yeah, sometimes I gotta get lost when I can't take no more
C#m A E
I guess that's what they make backroads for (Yeah)

I guess that's what they make backroads for
