[Verse]

       D
I got one that 

I take to a honey hole
          D7sus4
Where the bluegill always bite
     D
And one that's a 

shortcut to anywhere
          Cadd9      
As long as you ain't 
             D7sus4
short on time
 
D
I been down every 

one in this town
    C                       G
At least a couple thousand times
          D
They can get these 

four wheels from A to B
         C            
Oh, but they can't take me 
           G
where you take me
 
 
[Chorus]

 D
You're the best thing 

since back roads, baby
 C             
Pedal to the medal 
          G
with the windows down
 
 D
Sunshine setting on a 

cross that saved me
 C              
Hanging from a rearview 
    G
in red dirt clouds
 
 D               
Two-lane heaven's one 
               C
hell of a view-ew
                  G
But it ain't got nothing on you
 
 D
Driving this good 

old country boy crazy
 C            
You're the best thing 
       G              D D C G
since back roads, baby
 
 
[Verse]

       D
I can show you one nobody knows
    C                   G
It turns into Sediment Creek
        D
We can get a little moonlight, 

mud on the tires
 C                        G
Baby, if you know what I mean
 
 D
Angel in the front seat, 

yeti in the back
     C               G
Out here connecting dots on a map
 
 
[Chorus]

 D
You're the best thing 

since back roads, baby
 C          
Pedal to the medal 
          G
with the windows down
 
 D
Sunshine setting on a 

cross that saved me
 C                
Hanging from a rearview in 
 G
red dirt clouds
 
 D              
Two-lane heaven's 
                   C
one hell of a view-ew
                  G
But it ain't got nothing on you
 
 D
Driving this good 

old country boy crazy
 C              
You're the best thing 
       G
since back roads, baby

[Break]

 D
Pretty as a windshield
 C                   G
Painted with a blue sky
 D
Hotter than a leather seat,

 seat belt buckled
        C           G
In the middle of July
 
 
[Chorus]

 D
You're the best thing 

since back roads, baby
 C                
Pedal to the medal 
          G
