Way platinum there was a place we used to go and for hours at a time on a country road is troubling, you can let it go I get out of the car and walk through it, the river and talk to it saying, "Mr. water, what is it that you running from?" Asked the bird in the tree, "What is it that you for?" Now knowing (Why the Caged Bird Sings) is to be free Reminded of life and it's hold on me Touring, the children, women, sexual Religion means so much to me, the don't see enough of me This way, that way, bending corners trying to get Sometimes you to see a storm to appreciate a pretty day BACK in the car now, headed for the liquor God, what a vivid scene, what I just seen up another one, still in a daze though Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my mind on the country
I want to go On the country and get blowed On the roads again roll Been on the roads again

(Dude what the are we doing?) Back deep on these country roads blowing, getting in with my mind No worries striped lines and curve-filled signs all the events throughout the day, good or bad, somehow rewind While I recline, in my seats Hit the trees and press And let the melody of these windy roads keep my soul No destination proposed, riding these country roads... Listen, this killer's that's willing to catch a court Split wig apart quicker than the divorce rate Niggaz show out, go wild in the corpse Blow out in the news and I don't mean the page Get drowned in Lake, could get found in horse cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Lil' Stille's with ambition, itching to my position Replace me, but by the Lord's grace still Should be in depression La is missing, cousins in prison Heard Little Ricky was snitching, now he's a born-again had my suspicions, our teens with bad addictions Family members gone on a mission, we miss 'em See you can travel straight through two different State to state, this beautiful globe In search of a full of food for the soul I could it when the smoke hit my nose On a called country roads
