What They Make Backroads For

Lyrics

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