Way before platinum there was a place we to go and ride for hours at a time on a country is troubling, you can let it go I get out of the car and walk it, visit the river and talk to it Simply saying, "Mr. water, what is it that you from?" Asked the bird in the tree, "What is it you humming for?" Now knowing (Why the Bird Sings) is wishing to be free Reminded myself of life and it's on me Touring, the children, women, resistance Religion means so much to me, the don't see enough of me This way, way, bending corners trying to get away Sometimes you have to see a storm to a pretty day BACK in the car now, headed for the liquor God, what a vivid scene, what I just seen Rolled up one, still in a daze though Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my mind on the roads
I want to go On the country and get blowed On the roads again roll Been on the country roads
Yo, we off in backwoods Caddy-hogging, Nappy dog, ain't no joke We glad they robbing, rap imposter's, for problem no hope It's cutthroat, we hungry starving, charging for the do' You mo'? We smoke and sparking, jokers like the blunt go Been shoving for plenty miles, yes I'm the type to grin and bear it The second chance and out the box, I'm back with 'dro and spirits at me now, I found a spot, I'm down here by that rolling river Grab a rose and me to a place, au revoir, I'm rolling scriptures
Man these country roads me zone out Riding all the bullshit that poppa would scold 'bout But as my hustle got good I showed out Quick to jump I-24, back with plenty mo' By '97 I was smoking o The chains and the Willie was the dress code We lost our littlest Gwin, a skid row Tony Renfrow rest in peace your kinfolks, I miss
(Dude the hell are we doing?) Back deep on these country roads blowing, getting in with my mind No worries striped lines and curve-filled signs When all the events the day, good or bad, somehow rewind While I recline, in my Cadillac Hit the trees and press And let the of these windy roads keep my soul upbeat No destination proposed, just riding these roads... Listen, this killer's that's willing to catch a court Split your wig apart quicker the divorce rate show out, go wild in the corpse cage Blow out in the and I don't mean the sports page Get drowned in North Lake, get found in horse cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Stille's with ambition, itching to fill my position Replace me, but by the Lord's grace existing be in depression La trill is missing, cousins in prison Heard Little Ricky was snitching, now he's a Christian Always had my suspicions, our teens with bad members gone overseas on a mission, we miss 'em See you can travel straight through two different to state, navigate this beautiful globe In of a plate full of food for the soul I taste it when the smoke hit my nose On a place called roads
