Lyrics
BACKROADS TO HEAVEN
WELL I AIN'T IN NO HURRY, I GOT TEN MILES TO WORRY
ABOUT WHICH WAY I'LL TURN AT THE LIGHT
IF I TAKE THE ROAD HOME WHERE I KNOW I BELONG
I'LL CATCH HELL FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT
BUT IN THE OTHER DIRECTION THERE'S LOVE AND AFFECTION
THE KIND I AIN'T HAD IN SO LONG
THE BACKROADS TO HEAVEN LEAD STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR
AND THE HIGHWAY TO HELL TAKES ME HOME
I KNOW WHERE I SHOULD GO AND LORD KNOWS I WOULD GO
CAUSE HE'S SEEN WHAT SHE PUTS ME THRU
AND I KNOW I'M FORGIVEN EVEN THO I'LL BE SINNIN
CAUSE HE HUNG THAT HALO ON YOU
I CAN'T HELP WHAT I FEEL WHEN I TURN THIS OLE WHEEL
TO THE RIGHT EVEN THO I'LL BE WRONG
CAUSE THE BACKROADS TO HEAVEN LEADS STRAIGHT TO YOUR
DOOR
AND THE HIGHWAY TO HELL TAKES ME HOME
(BRIDGE)
ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE
TO GO HOME AND START LOOSIN MY MIND
SO I KEEP HESITATING CAUSE I KNOW WHAT LIES WAITIN
FOR ME WHEN I'M THERE BY YOUR SIDE
SOME FOLKS DON'T THINK WE HAVE GUARDIAN ANGELS
BUT I'M HERE TO TELL EM THEY'RE WRONG
CAUSE THE BACKROADS TO HEAVEN LEADS STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR
AND THE HIGHWAY TO HELL TAKES ME HOME
THE BACKROADS TO HEAVEN LEAD STRAIGHT TO YOUR DO,OO,OR
AND THE HIGHWAY TO HELL TAKES ME HOME
