[Verse 1]
Well, [D]I
never was one for trouble
But I [G]reckon it was for me
When I was just a [D]little boy
Pap put me on his [A]knee

[Verse 2]
And [D]he said, "Dear son, steer clearly
On the [G]high road you should stay
'Cause down there in them [D]valleys,
boy
Them [A]detour make [D]ya stray"

[Verse 3]
He said, [Bm]"Don't waste to
[G]morrow on [D]today's idle [E]time
It's [G]hard time [D]living on [A]the
backroads of your mind"
[D]

[Verse 4]
On [G]the backroads of my mind
Where the [D]turns are mostly blind
Reckoning by wrote and [A]memory
Well, they [G]don't been [D]de ducted
and [A]lately you're in [Bm]de cline
It's [G]hard time [D]living on [A]the
backroads of my mind
[D]

[Verse 5]
Now the years flew by so swiftly
And [G]I can't say they was kind
The old home and my [D]family
I left it all be[A]hind

[Verse 6]
For [D]a life of hopeful fortune
On the [G]highways I did grow
But like so many [D]dead- end roads
They [A]left me all [D]alone

[Verse 7]
I ain't [Bm]ne'er been to [G]Jackson
Where [D]trouble's so easy to [E]find
I [G]mourned my fair [D]share here on
[A]the backroads of my mind
[D]

[Verse 8]
On [G]the backroads of my mind
Where the [D]turns are mostly blind
Reckoning by wrote and [A]memory
Well, they [G]don't been [D]de ducted
and [A]lately you're in [Bm]de cline
It's [G]hard time [D]living on [A]the backroads of
