What They Make Backroads For - Hardy, Tracy Lawrence, Jake Owen

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

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Tell 'em Jake

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

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

[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

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Yeah
