And bury me in blue jeans.

(Intro Riff) or Cadd9 , G

[Verse 2]
Couldn’t be a cowboy, I’m a hundred years late,
I’m a six string poet and a radio slave.
I never ask for [Dadd9/F#]too many things,
Just [Dadd9/F#]bury me in blue jeans.

And I know, I know that’s so far to go
Got the roots of an oak and a[Dadd9/F#] tumbleweed soul
When my time’s up all this good ol’ boy needs
Is to bury me in[Dadd9/F#] blue jeans.

(intro riff)
or Cadd9 , G

[Verse 3]

I’m a brother, I’m a son, I’m a dad,
I’m a thankful one for everything I have.
I’m not gonna [Dadd9/F#]regret the past
[Dadd9/F#] When they bury me in blue jeans.

And I know, I know that’s so far to go
Got the roots of an oak and a[Dadd9/F#] tumbleweed soul
When my time’s up all this good ol’ boy needs
Is to bury me in[Dadd9/F#] blue jeans.

G , Cadd9 , Em7 , Dadd9/F# Please give me so far to go,
Oh, give me so far to go.
If you can hear me now
Give me so far to go.
Give me roots of an oak,
I got a tumbleweed soul
So far, so far to go, it’s so far to go.

Verse 1:

Barbed wire fence carvin’ out a hillside
Cuttin’ holes in the midday sun
Like a post-card framed in a windshield
Covered in dust
I love the rhythm of an old grey blacktop
33’s just whistlin’ by
Steer the wheel, one handed on a two lane
Huggin’ that line
I got the windows down
No one else around, singin’

Chorus:

Ooh – ooh
Freedom is the miles I’m rollin’ on
Ooh – ooh
Out here cruising to a backroad song
I feel the wheels like a melody
Like a radio dialin’ in strong
C’mon, c’mon sing along
Sing along to my backroad song
Ooh
Ooh

Verse 2:

I hit the brakes for an old New Holland
Hammer down and pass him on up
The breeze smells like a summertime hay field’s
Just been cut
I got the windows down
Way out of town, singin’

Repeat Chorus

Ooh

Bridge:

The only way today could get better
Girl what I’m thinkin'
Is I can pick you up, you slide in this truck
And I can hear you singin’

Tag:

Ooh
Let me hear you sing it
Ooh

Chorus 2:

Ooh
Freedom is the miles we’re rollin’ on
Ooh
Out here cruisin’ to a backroad song
I feel the wheels like a melody
Like a radio dialin’ in strong
C’mon, c’mon sing along
Sing along to my backroad song
C’mon, c’mon sing along
Sing along to my backroad song

Interlude:

Coda:

This is my backroad song
Ooh (Feel the rhythm of it, feel the rhythm of it)
This is my backroad song
Ooh (Feel the rhythm of it, feel the rhythm of it)
Come on, come on, sing along
Ooh (Feel the rhythm of it, feel the rhythm of it)
To my backroad song
Ooh (Feel the rhythm of it, feel the rhythm of it)
