Take the Back Road Home

Sheriff Mickey's got an attitude
 He's kinda mean and kinda rude
 But he ain't nothing to his brother Mac
 Who talks drunk to women
 And gets his fool face slapped
 You better take the back road home
 They don't know your name
 But they know what you got on
 'Til I call you on the telephone
 Keep your head down low
 And take the back road home
 Sheriff Mickey's on the radio
 Look out, boys, which way'd she go?
 Stay in the flow, but you better make time
 'Til you get back safe, babe
 Across the county line
 You better take the back road home
 They don't know your name
 But they know what you got on
 'Til I call you on the telephone
 Keep your head down low
 And take the back road home
 Brother Mac can learn a thing or two
 He never oughta talk that way to you
 Bet he'll think about you now and then
 If he ever can stand up
 Straight again
 You better take the back road home
 They don't know your name
 But they know what you got on
 'Til I call you on the telephone
 Keep your head down low
 And take the back road home
 You better take the back road home
 They don't know your name
 But they know what you got on
 'Til I call you on the telephone
 Keep your head down low
 And take the back road home
 Keep your head down low, babe
 And take the back road home
