Backroads of My Mind

Well, I never was one for trouble
 But I reckon it was for me
 When I was just a little boy
 Pap put me on his knee
 And he said, "Dear son, steer clearly
 On the high road you should stay
 'Cause down there in them valleys, boy
 Them detour make ya stray"
 He said, "Don't waste tomorrow on today's idle time
 It's hard time living on the backroads of your mind"
 On the backroads of my mind
 Where the turns are mostly blind
 Reckoning by wrote and memory
 Well, they don't been deducted and lately you're in decline
 It's hard time living on the backroads of my mind
 Now the years flew by so swiftly
 And I can't say they was kind
 The old home and my family
 I left it all behind
 For a life of hopeful fortune
 On the highways I did grow
 But like so many dead-end roads
 They left me all alone
 I ain't ne'er been to Jackson
 Where trouble's so easy to find
 I mourned my fair share here on the backroads of my mind
 On the backroads of my mind
 Where the turns are mostly blind
 Reckoning by wrote and memory
 Well, they don't been deducted and lately you're in decline
 It's hard time living on the backroads of my mind
