Way before platinum there was a we used to go and ride for hours at a time on a road 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, is it that you running from?" Asked the bird in the tree, "What is it that you 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, sexual Religion means so much to me, the church don't see of me This way, that way, bending trying to get away Sometimes you have to see a to appreciate a pretty day BACK in the car now, headed for the store God, what a vivid scene, digging what I seen Rolled up another one, in a daze though Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my on the country roads
I want to go On the country and get blowed On the country roads roll Been on the country roads
Yo, we off in these Caddy-hogging, Nappy dog, ain't no joke We glad they robbing, rap imposter's, for they problem no cutthroat, we hungry starving, charging for the front do' You want mo'? We smoke and sparking, like the blunt go Been shoving folk for plenty miles, yes I'm the type to grin and 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 rose and took me to a place, au revoir, I'm rolling
Man these country roads making me out Riding through all the that poppa would scold 'bout But soon as my got good I showed out Quick to jump I-24, back with plenty mo' By '97 I was perfect o The and the Willie Esco was the dress code We lost our littlest cousin Gwin, a row Tony Renfrow rest in your kinfolks, I miss y'all
(Dude what the are we doing?) Back deep on these roads blowing, getting in touch with my mind No worries just striped lines and signs When all the throughout the day, good or bad, somehow rewind While I recline, in my seats Hit the and press repeat And let the melody of these roads keep my soul upbeat No destination proposed, riding these country roads... Listen, killer's that's willing to catch 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 North Lake, 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 existing Should be in La trill is missing, cousins in prison Heard Little Ricky was snitching, now a born-again Christian Always had my suspicions, our teens bad addictions members gone overseas on a mission, we miss 'em See you can straight through two different coasts State to state, navigate this globe In search of a plate of food for the soul I taste it when the smoke hit my nose On a place country roads
