Way before platinum there was a we used 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 through it, visit the river and to it Simply saying, "Mr. water, what is it that you from?" Asked the in the tree, "What is it that you humming for?" Now (Why the Caged Bird Sings) is wishing to be free myself of life and it's hold on me Touring, the children, women, sexual Religion so much to me, the church don't see enough of me way, that way, bending corners trying to get away 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 Rolled up another one, still in a though up at the Mini-Mart, my mind on the country roads
I want to go On the country and get blowed On the country roads roll Been on the roads again
Yo, we off in these backwoods Caddy-hogging, Nappy dog, no joke We glad they robbing, rap imposter's, for they problem no It's cutthroat, we hungry starving, for the front do' You want mo'? We smoke and sparking, jokers the blunt go Been shoving folk for miles, yes I'm the type to grin and bear it The chance and out the box, I'm back again with 'dro and spirits Look at me now, I found a spot, I'm down here by that river Grab a and took me to a place, au revoir, I'm rolling scriptures
Man these country making me zone out Riding through all the bullshit that poppa scold 'bout But soon as my hustle got good I out to jump I-24, come back with plenty mo' By '97 I was smoking o The and the Willie Esco was the dress code We lost our cousin Gwin, a skid row Tony Renfrow in peace your kinfolks, I miss y'all
(Dude the hell are we doing?) Back deep on these roads blowing, getting in touch with my mind No worries just striped and curve-filled signs all the events throughout the day, good or bad, somehow rewind While I recline, in my Cadillac Hit the trees and press And let the melody of windy roads keep my soul upbeat No destination proposed, just riding these roads... Listen, this killer's that's willing to a court case Split your wig apart quicker than the divorce show out, go wild in the corpse cage Blow out in the news and I don't mean the sports Get drowned in Lake, could get found in horse cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Lil' Stille's ambition, itching to fill my position Replace me, but by the Lord's grace still Should be in depression La trill is missing, cousins in Heard Little Ricky was snitching, now a born-again Christian Always had my suspicions, our teens with bad Family members overseas on a mission, we miss 'em See you can travel straight two different coasts State to state, navigate this globe In of a plate full of food for the soul I could taste it when the hit my nose On a place called country
