Country Roads Lyrics

Do you really think you know
Exactly where I stand?
Or did I just let you down?
You found I was just a poor man

I might've took a few wrong turns
Down a few wrong roads
Wound up in a few wrong towns
Where nobody cares or goes

It ain't that I can't see
Or find my way home
It's just that I like to breathe
Out on country roads

I've never been much on downtown
Or cared for a place to stay
I know I'll never where no crown
I'll never be a king of slaves

Washed my hands in the rain
And spent my time with the whiskey
I'll never give up on change
Or give a damn if you'll ever miss me

Cause it ain't that I can't see
Or find my way home
It's just that I like to breathe
On country roads

I know I never stick around
I never lose track of time
Or worry bout a little old town
What I might've left behind

I just let the sun shine down
I just let them big wheels roll
Keep on runnin around
Them big old country roads

Cause it ain't that I can't see
Or find my way home
It's just that I like to breathe
On country roads

Cover art for Country Roads lyrics by Ryan Bingham

Its clear that this song is about a man that needed to get away from something, probably a relationship, but whatever. He needed this escape and room to breathe and for him country roads are the place to get his piece of mind back.
