Chords

E
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tracy Lawrence

[Verse 1]

E
Some people pile in the church on Sunday

E                          B
To talk to the man upstairs

C#m                    A
Some people drown in a fifth of Crown

     E
When life seems a little more there

E
Some people like to roll one up

E
When their world starts rollin' down hill

B          C#m              A                         E
That ain't how I roll and I doubt it's how I ever will (Yeah)

[Chorus]

           C#m                        A
'Cause I'm sittin' out here, drinkin' this cold beer

         E
With the tailgates down in the sticks

         C#m                          A
When I'm stuck without a paddle in an upstream battle

     E                             B
It's nothin' this gravel can't fix

      C#m                   A         E
Yeah, sometimes I gotta get lost when I can't take no more

C#m                 A                   E
I guess that's what they make backroads for (Yeah)

[Post-Chorus]

C#m       A         E
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

C#m       A         E
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Tell 'em Jake [Verse 2]

      E
Yeah, I'm alright with them downtown nights

         E                                     B
With the streets, and the lights, and the bars

          C#m                         A
But the crickets don't chirp and your phone still works

        E
And you can't even see the stars

            E
Between the highway pace and the interstate race

         E                      B
Man, you gotta unplug sometimes

       C#m                          A                   E
So I'm slowin' it down, and I'll be slowing it down all night

That's right [Chorus]

           C#m                        A
I'll be sittin' out here, drinkin' this cold beer

         E
With the tailgates down in the sticks

         C#m                          A
When I'm stuck without a paddle in an upstream battle

     E                             B
It's nothin' this gravel can't fix

      C#m                   A         E
Yeah sometimes I gotta get lost when I can't take no more

C#m                 A                   E
I guess that's what they make backroads for (Yeah)

[Instrumental Bridge] C#m A E (X2) [Chorus]

           C#m                        A
I'm just sittin' out here, drinkin' this cold beer

         E
With the tailgates down in the sticks

         C#m                          A
When I'm stuck without a paddle in an upstream battle

     E                             B
It's nothin' this gravel can't fix

      C#m                   A         E
Yeah, sometimes I gotta get lost when I can't take no more

C#m                 A                   E
I guess that's what they make backroads for (Yeah)

C#m                 A                E
I guess that's what they make backroads for

[Post-Chorus]

C#m       A         E
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

C#m       A         E
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

C#m A E (X2)
