Way before there was a place we used to go and for hours at a time on a country road is troubling, you can let it go I get out of the car and walk through it, 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 (Why the Caged Bird Sings) is wishing to be free Reminded of life and it's hold on me Touring, the children, women, sexual Religion means so much to me, the church see enough of me way, that way, bending corners 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 I just seen Rolled up another one, still in a daze Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my on the country roads
I want to go On the roads and get blowed On the roads again roll Been on the country again

Back deep on these country roads blowing, in touch with my mind No worries just 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 repeat And let the melody of windy roads keep my soul upbeat No destination proposed, riding these country roads... Listen, this killer's that's willing to catch a case your wig apart quicker than the divorce rate Niggaz show out, go wild in the cage Blow out in the and I don't mean the sports page Get in North Lake, could get found in horse cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Lil' Stille's with ambition, to fill my position Replace me, but by the Lord's grace existing Should be in depression La is missing, cousins in prison Little Ricky was snitching, now he's a born-again Christian Always had my suspicions, our teens with bad Family gone overseas on a mission, we miss 'em See you can travel straight two different coasts State to state, navigate this globe In search of a plate full of food for the I could taste it the smoke hit my nose On a place called country
