(verse 1)
D A
i've been on the grand ole opry, i played a show with ZZ top
Em G
went on tour with Skynyrd, and man they still rock
D A
shot the bull with Bocephus, before he climbed up on his jet
Em G
played south Florida with Alan Jackson, thats some things at ya never forget
Bm A Em G
And all that stuff it makes you feel real good, but not near as good
(Chorus)
D A
As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home
Em G
A splash a Jack in my coke, Catchin' brim on a Zebco
D A
spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal
Em G D
huggin' mama before i go, flyin' down a backroad
(verse 2)
D A
up there in Des Moines, they knew my songs line by line
Em G
i just stood there in the fake smoke, another dream came true that night
D A
ive seen so many places, i never thought id see
Em G
all the way from California, to as far as you can go east
Bm A Em G
and all that stuff it makes you feel real good, but not near as good
(chorus)
D A
As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home
Em G
A splash a Jack in my coke, Catchin' brim on a Zebco
D A
spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal
Em G D
huggin' mama before i go, flyin' down a backroad
(bridge)
Bm A G
im a lucky man ive got a real good life,
A G D
but with all the things ive done, nothing gets me as high
(chorus)
D A
As flyin' down a backroad, with some buddies from back home
Em G
A splash a Jack in my coke,and Catchin' brim on a Zebco
D A
spottin deer in a hay feild, after church a sunday meal
Em G D A Em
