Lyrics Old River Road - The Lacs

Wanna take a ride
Wanna pop a top and leave the past behind
Ride a little country high
Little peace of mind
Wanna take a ride
A little back woods ride cleanse my soul
So roll on, and roll on
Down them old river roads

I call shotgun a little less work
And a lot more fun
Gallon jug of moonshine
Slow-mo watch the time fly by hey
I know what you want to hear but
I say it's been a long damn year and
I'm afraid of what you might find
Gotta ride through the country just to ease my mind

No phone, no calls
Don't worry about nothin'
Let your mind get lost
Gotta, tall truck, tall trees
When it gets too bad I can always leave
And find that spot where the time just stops
And the river right there if it gets too hot
So wild, so free, it sounds just right to me

Wanna take a ride
Wanna pop a top
And leave the past behind
Ride alittle country high, little peace of mind

Wanna take a ride
A little back woods ride
Cleanse my soul
So roll on, and roll on
Down them old river roads

If I could just scratch the week off for a minute
And all the bullshit that comes along with it
Maybe get a little gumbo stuck in the treads
And drop a little cricket in a big brim bead

Drinkin' my beer, singin' my song
Ridin' dirt roads, not much wrong with that
It get's a little better with time and time's the only thing I know that betters the wine
I remember daddy sayin' never follow the signs
Just ride 'til every road is planted there in your mind
Pretty soon your daddy's boy will be a one of a kind
Just kick back and roll to your favorite rhyme

Wanna take a ride
Wanna pop a top, and leave the past behind
Ride alittle country high,
Little peace of mind
Wanna take a ride
A little back woods ride
Cleanse my soul
So roll on, and roll on
Down them old river roads

My problems, they leavin'
Kick back cause I know the reason
Got some, feelings up, not knowin'
I don't care about where I'm goin'
Keep drivin, no fear
Riverbank I love it here
My mind is, so clear feel the breeze and taste the beer
Life can pull you in so many ways
I sit and reminisce 'bout them good old days
When the things were simple, and work was tough
When time stood still, never had to rush
You could, concentrate on the finer things
Like chillin' with the family on the front porch swing
When right at home is where you wanted to be
Now that sounds just right to me

So wanna take a ride
Down them old river roads
Let me get that feelin' again
That country cleansin' my soul

Wanna take that ride
Even though nothin' has changed
I feel like wastin' my day
My problems driftin' away
