When I was just a little boy Pap put me on his knee 
       D                                     G 
And he said, "Dear son, steer clearly on the high road you should stay 
                          D                A                D 
'Cause down there in that valley, boy them detours make you stray"

On the backroads of my mind where the turns are mostly blind 
                           A 
Reckoning by rote and memory 
              G         D             A               Bm 
Well, they've long been neglected and lately are in decline

Now the years flew by so swiftly and I can't say they was kind 
                    D                       A 
The old home and my family, I left it all behind 
      D                              G 
For a life of hopeful fortune on the highways I did roam 
                 D                    A             D 
But like so many dead end roads, they left me all alone

I've mourned my fair share here on the backroads of my mind 

 
       G                              D 
On the backroads of my mind where the turns are mostly blind 
                           A 
Reckoning by rote and memory 
              G         D             A               Bm 
Well, they've long been neglected and lately are in decline
