Drop D Tuning 
 
Some of the weird chords at the end of the 
chorus are just a long walkdown from the Cadd9 
to the D, but here they are: 
 
 
    D 
The backroads of this county 
               Cadd9 
Cross like the laces on my boots 
              G/B                                D 
And I've been running them down since I was able to 
                D 
I left home at nineteen 
            Cadd9 
Swore I was never goin back 
            G/B                           D 
Nights like this I wish thats where I was at 
 
 
CHORUS: 
                   Cadd9 
Slow pokin' down a blacktop 
                  D 
Cuttin tires on a white rock 
                     Cadd9 
There's a party on a dead end road 
                          D 
We're just hopin that the cops dont show 
             Cadd9 
Somebody is lookin for a fight 
                   D 
It's gonna be that kind of night 
               Cadd9          G/B 
When I get too far from home 
               D           Cadd9  G/B  Dsus4/A  Dsus4/F  D 
I go find me a back road 
 
 
Well I remember the summer 
That I turned sixteen 
I made out with a girl in the back of her hatchback Chevrolet 
And I drank my first beer  
On the Louisiana state line 
My first time to see the other side 
 
CHORUS  (No walkdown at the end) 
 
Cadd9 
Well I heard them tell me 
          D 
Son don't forget where you came from 
Cadd9 
And I never have 
                    D 
And I still like to beat that drum 
Cadd9 
From the river bottoms 
       D 
To the tall pine trees 
   A 
It forever will be 
      A 
Right here inside of me
