[G] [D] [G] I got the radio blasted, I got the windows rolled down,
They're now [D] inclusive these back roads, Home, we got [G] girls to jam.
Well, I can feel the wind a-blowin', Feel the baggage unwind,
They're now [D] inclusive these back roads, All my [G] troubles are lit high.
[D]
[G] [D] Well, when I woke up this [G] mornin', Well, when I took a look outside,
[D] It was plain to see, It was one of those [G] days they'd have made for takin' a ride.
[C] So I went downstairs, And I played my [G] head, coffee and cigarettes,
[D] And then it hit me right then, My, my, my [G] momma said,
[D] Well I'm putting work and homework [G] before I make a show today
[D] I got some Sunday days to do, just like when we're [Gm] paying the government, they won't go away
[C] So I went out, I climbed [G] in my big old Chevrolet
[C] And with a turn of the key and a pile of [D] dust, I was on my way
I got the [G] radio blasting, I got the wind to slow down
When I'm [D] cruising these back roads, on the [G] outskirts of [D] town
Well I can [G] feel the wind a-blowing, feel the baggage a-piling
When I'm [D] cruising these back roads, all my [G] troubles are behind
Are [C]
[G] you [Bb] having fun?
[C]
If you are, say yeah!
[D] [Am] [C] Well
[Gm] [G] [Dm]
[D] [G] [D] maybe I did, or maybe you [G] did, gonna lose my job again
[D] But you can take my cash, you can take my [G] worries and throw them all away
[C] Because I called the time and there it was, [G] laughing you got to break free
[C] And I can pull the wheel, and the man in the [D] truck steps out in front of me
I got the [G] radio blasting, I got the wind to slow down
When I'm [D] cruising these back roads, on the [G] outskirts of [D] town
Well I can [Gm] feel the wind a-blowing, feel the baggage a-piling
When I'm [D] cruising these back roads, all my [G] troubles are behind
