[Verse 1]
If I go MIA, right around sunset time
After a long hard day, you know where you can find
My Chevy dust cloud stir, behind some Goodrich tires
Way past the trespass sign, by the barbed wire
Bulldog koozie, wrapped around the bottle
If you don't see me 'til tomorrow

[Chorus]
Blame it on the two-lane, no name
Way out in the middle of nowhere
Where that gravel gets you flyin'
Like a free bird, reverb
One hand out the window, like I don't care
But I'm gonna keep on drivin'
'Til there's peace of mind
Way deep down in my soul
If I got country on thе radio
You can blame it on the backroad
Yeah, blamе it on the backroad

[Verse 2]
If you can't call me up, it's 'cause I ditched my phone
Somewhere in my backseat, yeah, I may not come home
For like a day or two, don't worry, I ain't lost
Just had to shake a little rust off

[Chorus]
Blame it on the two-lane, no name
Way out in the middle of nowhere
Where that gravel gets you flyin'
Like a free bird, reverb
One hand out the window, like I don't care
But I'm gonna keep on driving
'Til there's peace of mind
Way deep down in my soul
If I got static on the radio
You can blame it on the backroad
Yeah, blame it on the backroad

[Bridge]
If I got a bulldog koozie, wrapped around the bottle
If you don't see me 'til tomorrow
Aw yeah, nobody worry, I ain't in no hurry
So don't you come lookin' for me

[Chorus]
Blame it on the two-lane, no name
Way out in the middle of nowhere
Where that gravel gets you flyin'
Like a free bird, reverb
One hand out the window, like I don't care
But I'm gonna keep on driving
'Til there's peace of mind
Way deep down in my soul
If I got Waylon on the radio
You can blame it on the backroad
Yeah, blame it on the backroad

[Outro]
Go on and blame it on the backroad
Yeah, you know, on the backroad
