Way before there was a place we used to go and ride for hours at a on a country road is troubling, you can let it go I get out of the car and through it, visit 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 that you for?" Now knowing (Why the 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 don't see enough of me This way, way, bending corners trying to get away Sometimes you have to see a storm to a pretty day BACK in the car now, for the liquor store God, what a vivid scene, digging what I just Rolled up another one, still in a daze Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my mind on the country
I want to go On the roads and get blowed On the country roads roll Been on the country again
Yo, we off in these backwoods Caddy-hogging, dog, ain't no joke We they robbing, rap imposter's, for they problem no hope It's cutthroat, we hungry starving, for the front do' You want mo'? We smoke and sparking, like the blunt go Been shoving for plenty miles, yes I'm the type to grin and bear it The second 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 me to a place, au revoir, I'm rolling scriptures
Man country roads making me zone out Riding through all the bullshit that poppa would 'bout But soon as my hustle got I showed out Quick to jump I-24, back with plenty mo' By '97 I was perfect o The chains and the Willie was the dress code We lost our littlest cousin Gwin, a row Renfrow rest in peace your kinfolks, I miss y'all
(Dude what the are we doing?) Back deep on country roads blowing, getting in touch with my mind No worries striped lines and curve-filled signs When all the events the day, good or bad, somehow rewind I recline, in my Cadillac seats Hit the trees and press And let the melody of these windy roads keep my soul No proposed, just riding these country roads... Listen, this that's willing to catch a court case Split your wig apart quicker the divorce rate Niggaz show out, go wild in the corpse Blow out in the news and I don't mean the sports Get drowned in North Lake, could get found in cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Lil' Stille's with ambition, itching to my position Replace me, but by the grace still existing Should be in depression La trill is missing, in prison Heard Ricky was snitching, now he's 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 beautiful globe In of a plate full of food for the soul I taste it when the smoke hit my nose On a place country roads
