Did not find a listing for this, so I
sat down and figured it out.
This is also one of my favorite Kate Wolf songs.
Back Roads By: Kate Wolf

Verse 1
GDAm7D7
I'll take the backroads home through the open country side.

Letting things slip by.......in drawn out time...I'll
EmBmC
take the long way home on the backroads of this life
Am7D7GC
..taking time to see what goes by.
Chorus
BdimAA7DE
Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're
BCD7GEm
headed for, someone's left behind.....And the shortest road
BmCAm7D7G
ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home
Verse 2
GDAm7D7
A back road is so easy, it just rambles on and on.
AmBmCD7G
Take it or leave it,....as rolls along.

Drifts through things it cannot change, and doesn't
Am7D7GC
even try. Wouldn't that be something for you and I.
