Lyrics
Windows cracked and the dust rolls slow Dashboard glowing with the radio low Cottonwoods lean over the gravel Taking the long way, not in a hurry to travel Sun sinks down like honey in tea Slide guitar down the back road home Letting the evening carry me on Fence posts keep time, the crickets sing along Slide guitar down the back road home Easy now, easy now Nothing to prove and nowhere to be Slide guitar down the back road home Past the barn with the leaning door Past the creek where we swam before A dog lifts his head from a porch swing nap Wags his tail at the passing sound Everybody's slow out here, and sweet Slide guitar down the back road home Letting the evening carry me on Fence posts keep time, the crickets sing along Slide guitar down the back road home Easy now, easy now Nothing to prove and nowhere to be Slide guitar down the back road home Hum it low, hum it slow Let the dusk say where to go One hand on the wheel, one on the breeze Hip to the rhythm of the swaying trees Slide guitar down the back road home Letting the evening carry me on Fence posts keep time, the crickets sing along Slide guitar down the back road home Easy now, easy now Nothing to prove and nowhere to be Slide guitar down the back road home Back road home Easy now, back road home
