I like to drive country highways
The you go your way I'll go my ways
See how time forgot our American byways
I like to drive country highways
32 to 23
5 and 20 headed east
Farmland closing in on Main St
Far as anybody's eyes can see
You can keep your toll roads
Your eight-lane wide got no soul roads
I'll take the quiet small town slow roads every time
Fading houses with cherry red doors
Christmas tree farms general stores
Open quarries and shuttered-down resorts
Churches built before the wars
You can keep your toll roads
Your eight-lane wide got no soul roads
I'll take the quiet small town slow roads every time
23 to 32
GPS will find the scenic route
I love you baby but there's things I gotta do
Sometimes I take the long road back to you
You can keep your toll roads
Your eight-lane wide got no soul roads
I'll take the quiet small town slow roads every time
I like to drive country highways
COUNTRY HIGHWAYS
