I've been on the Grand Ole Opry I've played a show with ZZ Top Went on tour with Skynyrd And man, they still rock Shot the bull with Bocephus Before he climb up on his Jet Played South Florida with Alan Jackson That's some things that you never forget And all that stuff It makes you feel real good But not near as good As flyin' down a back road With some buddies from back home A splash of Jack in my coke Catchin' brill on a Zepco Spottin' deer in the hay field After church, a Sunday meal Huggin' mama before I go Flyin' down a back road Up there in Des Moines They knew my songs line by line I just stood there in the fake smoke Another dream came true that night I've seen so many places I thought I'd never see All the way from California To as far as you can go east And all that stuff It makes you feel real good But not near as good As flyin' down a back road With some buddies from back home A splash of Jack in my coke Catchin' brill on a Zepco Spottin' deer in the hay field After church, a Sunday meal Huggin' mama before I go Yeah, flyin' down a back road I'm a lucky man, I got a real good life With all the things I've done Nothin' gets me as high As flyin' down a back road With some buddies from back home A splash of Jack in my coke And catchin' brill on a Zepco Spottin' deer in the hay field After church, a Sunday meal And huggin' my mama before I go Yeah, flyin' down a back road Oh, flyin' down a back road
