Way before platinum 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 it, visit the river and talk to it Simply saying, "Mr. water, what is it you running from?" Asked the in the tree, "What is it that you humming for?" Now knowing (Why the Bird Sings) is wishing to be free myself of life and it's hold on me Touring, the children, women, resistance Religion means so much to me, the church see enough 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, for the liquor store God, what a vivid scene, what I just seen Rolled up another one, in a daze though Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my on the country roads
I just to go On the country roads and get On the roads again roll on the country roads again
Yo, we off in these backwoods Caddy-hogging, dog, ain't 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 like the 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 at me now, I found a spot, I'm down here by that rolling river Grab a rose and took me to a place, au revoir, I'm rolling

Listen, this killer's that's willing to a court case your wig apart quicker than the divorce rate Niggaz out, go wild in the corpse cage Blow out in the news and I mean the sports page Get drowned in North Lake, could get found in cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Lil' Stille's with ambition, itching to fill my me, but by the Lord's grace still existing Should be in depression La trill is missing, in prison Heard Little Ricky was snitching, now a born-again Christian had my suspicions, our teens with bad addictions Family members gone on a mission, we miss 'em See you can travel through two different coasts State to state, navigate this beautiful In search of a full of food for the soul I taste it when the smoke hit my nose On a place country roads
