Ricky Van Shelton - Backroads Chords

Intro G D G

Chorus
                G                  
I got the radio blastin' I got the windows roll down
                       D                             G      D
and I'm cruisin' these backroads on the outskirts of town
                          G               
and I can feel the wind a blowin' hear the big engines wind
                        D                                G
when I'm cruisin' these backroads all my troubles are behind

Turnaround G D G

1.
          D                             G
Well when I woke up this mornin' well I took me a look outsid
       D                                              G
it was plain to see it was one of those days that are made for takin' a ride
     C                                  G
so I went downstairs clear my head with coffee and cigarettes
         D                                      G
and when it hit me right there then my mind was set

2.
       D                                        G    
Well I phoned  work and told them they're gonna be a man short today
          D                                                   G
I got the Sunday day blues there's only one thing thats gonna make them go away
     C                              G
so I went out and I climbed into my big ole Chevrolet
             C                                         D
and with the turn of the key and a cloud of dust I was on my way

       D                                 G
Well may'be I did and may'be I didn't go lose my job today
        D                                     G
but you can take my cares take my worries and blow them all away
           C                                          G
well there comes a time in every man's life when he's got to break free
       C                                        G
I got four good wheels and an endless road just out in front of me
