[Verse 1]

I've been on the Grand Ole Opry

I've played a show with ZZ Top

Went on tour with Skynyrd, and man they still rock

Shot the bull with Bocephus before he climbed up on his jet

Played South Florida with Alan Jackson

That's some things that you never forget

[Pre-Chorus]

And all that stuff it makes you feel real good

But not near as good

[Chorus]

As flyin' down a back road

With some buddies from back home

A splash of Jack in my Coke

Catching bream on a Zebco

Spottin' deer in a hay field

After church, a Sunday meal

Hugging mama before I go

Flyin' down a back road

[Verse 2]

Up there in Des Moines, they knew my songs line by line

I just stood there in the fake smoke

Another dream came true that night

I've seen so many places I thought I'd never see

All the way from California to as far as you can go East

[Pre-Chorus]

And all that stuff it makes you feel real good

But not near as good

[Chorus]

As flying down a back road

With some buddies from back home

A splash of Jack in my Coke

Catching bream on a Zebco

Spotting deer in a hay field

After church, a Sunday meal

Hugging mama before I go

Yeah, flying down a back road

[Bridge]

I'm a lucky man, I got a real good life

With all the things I've done nothing gets me as high

[Chorus]

As flying down a back road

With some buddies from back home

A splash of Jack in my Coke

And catching bream on a Zebco

Spotting deer in a hay field

After church, a Sunday meal

And hugging my mama before I go

Yeah, flying down a back road

[Outro]

Oh, flying down a back road
