Biography:
Rodney Atkins, born March 28, 1969 in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an American country singer. He was an adopted child. As an infant at the Holston Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville, Tennessee, he was so sick that two couples who had taken him home returned him just a few days later. A third couple from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, adopted him as well and, even though his ailments worsened, refused to give him up. His adoptive mother had been raised in a coal mining family near a tannery camp

Standard Tuning
Capo 1
Verse 1
D
Sittin in six lane backed up traffic
A
Horns a honkin, I've about had it
G
I'm lookin for an exit sign
A
Gotta get outta here, get it all off my mind
D
And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
A
A song comes slippin through the radio static
G
Changin my mood
A
A little George Strait 1982
Chorus:
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
A
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G
Put a little gravel in my travel
A
Unwind, unravel all night long
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A
Tear down some two lane country
G
Who knows
A
Get lost and get right with my soul
D A G A
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road
Verse 2
D
I've been cooped up, tied down
A
'Bout forgotten what a field looks like full of corn and cotton
G
If I'm gonna hit a traffic jam
A
Well it better be a tractor man
D
So sick and tired of this interstate system
A G
I need the curvin, windin, twistin dusty path to nowhere
A
With the wind blowin through my baby's hair
Chorus:
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
A
Makes me wanna take the long way home
G
Put a little gravel in my travel
A
Unwind, unravel all night long
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey
A
Tear down some two lane country
G
Who knows
A
Get lost and get right with my soul
D A G A
Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna take a back road
