[INTRO]
Bm G D E
G  D A D
[VERSE 1]
Well I Dnever was one for trouble but I Greckon it was for me
When I was just a Dlittle boy Pap put me on his Aknee
And he Dsaid, "Dear son, steer clearly on the Ghigh road you should stay
'Cause down there in that Dvalley, boy them Adetours make you Dstray"
He said Bmdon't waste toGmorrow on Dtoday's idle Etime
It's Ghard time Dliving on the Abackroads of your Dmind
[CHORUS]
On the Gbackroads of my mind where the Dturns are mostly blind
Reckoning by rote and memorAy
Well, they've Glong been Dneglected and Alately are in deBmcline
It's Ghard time Dliving on the Abackroads of my miDnd
[VERSE 2]
Now the Dyears flew by so swiftly and I Gcan't say they was kind
The old home and my Dfamily, I left it all beAhind
For a Dlife of hopeful fortune on the Ghighways I did roam
But like so many Ddead end roads, they Aleft me all alDone
I ain't Bmnever been to GJackson where Dtrouble's so easy to Efind
I've Gmourned my fair Dshare here on the Abackroads of my Dmind
[CHORUS]
On the Gbackroads of my mind where the Dturns are mostly blind
Reckoning by rote and memorAy
Well, they've Glong been Dneglected and Alately are in deBmcline
It's Ghard time Dliving on the Abackroads of my Dmind
[INSTRUMENTAL]
D G D A
D G D A D
[CHORUS]
On the Gbackroads of my mind where the Dturns are mostly blind
Reckoning by rote and memorAy
Well, they've Glong been Dneglected and Alately are in deBmcline
It's Ghard time Dliving on the Abackroads of my miDnd
Yes, it's Ghard time Dliving on the Abackroads of my CmiGndD
