Way before platinum there was a 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 walk through it, visit the river and to it Simply saying, "Mr. water, what is it that you from?" the bird in the tree, "What is it that you humming for?" Now knowing (Why the Bird Sings) is wishing to be free Reminded myself of life and hold on me Touring, the children, women, resistance Religion so much to me, the church don't see enough of me This way, that way, bending corners to get away you have to see a storm to appreciate a pretty day BACK in the car now, for the liquor store God, what a scene, digging what I just seen Rolled up another one, still in a daze Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my mind on the roads
I just to go On the roads and get blowed On the roads again roll Been on the country roads

(Dude what the are we doing?) Back on these country roads blowing, getting in touch with my mind No worries just striped and curve-filled signs When all the events throughout the day, good or bad, somehow While I recline, in my seats Hit the trees and press And let the melody of these roads keep my soul upbeat No destination proposed, just riding these roads... Listen, this killer's that's to catch a court case your wig apart quicker than the divorce rate Niggaz show out, go wild in the cage Blow out in the news and I don't mean the sports Get in North Lake, could get found in horse cave Fool, get down, the crazy! Lil' Stille's with ambition, itching to my position Replace me, but by the Lord's grace still be in depression La trill is missing, cousins in prison Heard Little was snitching, now he's a born-again Christian had my suspicions, our teens with bad addictions Family gone overseas on a mission, we miss 'em See you can travel straight through two different State to state, navigate this globe In search of a plate full of food for the I taste it when the smoke hit my nose On a called country roads
