Black crow sitting on the barbed wire Telephone poles flashing by Sun coming up like a prayer across the field I got the windows rolled down in my ford truck I'm breathing in the dirt and dust Oh man I love the way it feels Oh the way it feels Rain coming down on a tin roof The sound of a slow freight train passing by Sipping on a beer in the cool shade This is where I'll live until I die On this back road paradise You can have those city nights Concrete and neon lights It's not for me it left me cold Give me an acre maybe two A kitchen window with a wide view It ain't much but it's my home Yeah home sweet home Rain coming down on a tin roof The sound of a slow freight train passing by Sipping on a beer in the cool shade This is where I'll live until I die On this back road paradise Crickets singing in the moonlight The sound of a slow freight train rolling by Picking out a song in the cool shade This is where I'll live until I die Yeah sipping on a beer in the cool shade This is where I'll live until I die On this back road paradise Back road paradise
