Flyin
Justin Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've played a show with ZZ Top
Went on tour with Skynyrd and man they still rock
Shot the bull with Bocephus, before he climbed up on his jet
Played south Florida with Alan Jackson
That's some things that you never forget
And all that stuff it makes you feel real good
But not near as good
As flyin' down a back road
With some buddies from back home
A splash of Jack in my Coke
Catchin' bream on a Zebco
Spottin' deer in a hay field
After church a Sunday meal
Huggin' mama before I go
Flyin' down a back road
Up there in Des Moines
They knew my songs line by line
I just stood there in the fake smoke
Another dream came true that night
I've seen so many places,
I thought I'd never see
All the way from California to as far as you could go East
And all that stuff it makes you feel real good,
But not near as good
As flyin' down a back road
With some buddies from back home
A splash of Jack in my Coke
Catchin' brine on a Zebco
Spottin' deer in a hay field
After church a Sunday meal
Huggin' mama before I go
Yeah, Flyin' down a back road
I'm a lucky man, I gotta real good life
With all the things I've done
Nothin' gets me as high
As flyin' down a back road
With some buddies from back home
A splash of Jack in my Coke
Catchin' brine on a Zebco
Spottin' deer in a hay field
After church a Sunday meal
And huggin' mama before I go
Yeah, flyin' down a back road
Oh, flyin' down a back road
In Justin Moore's song Flyin' Down A Back Road, he talks about all the amazing experiences he's had, such as playing at the Grand Ole Opry, touring with Skynyrd, and hanging out with legends like ZZ Top and Bocephus. These are all things that many people would consider once-in-a-lifetime experiences, but Moore says that they still don't compare to the feeling he gets when he's simply cruising down a back road with some of his closest friends. He talks about the simplicity of drinking Jack and Coke, fishing with a Zebco, spotting deer in a hayfield, and enjoying a Sunday dinner with his family. He expresses that although he's been able to travel all over the country and experience some amazing things in his career, there's something inherently special about the memories he's made with his friends and family in these simple, everyday moments.
The song is an ode to the joy of small-town living and finding happiness in the simple things. It paints a picture of life in rural America, where things like fishing, hunting, and spending time with loved ones are some of the most cherished experiences. It also highlights the contrast between the excitement of being on tour and the comfort of being back home with the people who know you best.
Overall, the song delivers a powerful message about the importance of cherishing the people and experiences that truly matter in life, rather than chasing after fleeting thrills or external validation.

These experiences don't come close to the simple joys of life - driving fast on a quiet back road, drinking with old friends, fishing with a simple rod, observing nature, enjoying a family meal and embracing your loved ones
Up there in Des Moines
They knew my songs line by line
I just stood there in the fake smoke
Another dream came true that night
I've seen so many places,
I thought I'd never see
All the way from California to as far as you could go East

Nothing can match the thrill of driving fast, relaxing with friends, and enjoying the natural beauty of God's creation
I'm a lucky man, I gotta real good life
With all the things I've done
Nothin' gets me as high
As flyin' down a back road

I may have accomplished so much in my career, but the ultimate happiness is found in the simplicity of life, where I can feel alive and free while creating lasting memories with my loved ones

Me and my wife had the privilege of meeting Justin before his concert in Columbia, SC 4 years ago. He was the one of the most down to earth and most humble guys I have ever met. I will forever be a fan of his.

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
