Country Road
The Lacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Back to the place where I come from
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Just how long have I been gone?
Ooh, Lord, take me home
I say bye to my folks as I pack my clothes
Mama don't cry, I was born to go
You gon' see my name in the big city lights
And daddy, you know your boy will be alright
I thought the big city life was the place for me
But things ain't always what they cracked up to be
Fell flat on my back, searchin' for my soul
Now I'm headed back down my country road
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Back to the place where I come from
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Just how long have I been gone?
Lord, take me home
Ooh, Lord, take me home
Get on down the road now
A cul-de-sac and a U-Haul
I'm gonna make it back to Georgia 'fore the dew fall
A six pack, and a half a pack of Pall Malls
Red wine, the kind that give ya lock jaw
Old tires ain't seen dirt roads in a while
But the grass getting green so I know I'm in the south
Old backwood fiend, man, there ain't no doubt
I was born in the south, go on take me to the house
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Back to the place where I come from
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Just how long have I been gone?
Lord, take me home
Thank God I was born in the south (born in the south)
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
Ooh, Lord take me home
Thank God I was raised in the south (raised in the south)
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
Now we're back roads cruising on a two path lane
Stopping by the field, checkin' out the sugar cane
Rollin' down by the creek, switch it off and just listen
Now roads ain't found on your navigation system
Stop and look at the deer track
Grabbin' me a beer from the back
30.06 by my side, can you feel that?
A right at the chicken pen
A left at the back lodge
We made it to the river and we never touch a black top
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Back to the place where I come from
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Just how long have I been gone?
Lord, take me home
Thank God I was born in the south (born in the south)
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
Ooh, Lord take me home
Thank God I was raised in the south (raised in the south)
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
The Lacs's "Country Road" is an emotional song that depicts a story of a person who left his home to explore the city but finds himself eventually coming back to his roots. The song is about coming back to the place where one was born, where their heart belongs, and where they feel truly at home. Throughout the song, we see a sense of nostalgia and longing to go back home, to the countryside, to a simpler way of life. The lyrics imply that country roads are the roads that lead us back to our truest selves.
The singer talks about leaving his hometown, saying goodbye to his parents, and moving to the city with the dream of making it big. However, city life wasn't as easy as he thought it would be, and he ended up losing himself. The song describes his journey back home to regain his sense of belonging and purpose. The lyrics are evocative, and the country music-style instrumentation makes the song even more powerful.
"Country Road" is a song that resonates with many people, especially those who have left their small hometowns to pursue their dreams somewhere else. It is a beautiful reminder of where we come from and the importance of staying connected to our roots.

My country road take me home
I want to return to the place where I was born
Take me to the place where I was born
I miss the familiar surroundings of my hometown
Back to the place where I come from
My heart has been away from home for too long
Just how long have I been gone?
I've been away for so long that I've lost track of time
Lord, take me home
I'm praying for guidance to find my way back home
I say bye to my folks as I pack my clothes
I'm leaving my hometown and saying goodbye to my family
Mama don't cry, I was born to go
I know leaving is hard but it's just a part of life
You gon' see my name in the big city lights
I'm going to the city to pursue my dreams
And daddy, you know your boy will be alright
I'm confident that I'll succeed in the city
I thought the big city life was the place for me
I believed that the city was where I belonged
But things ain't always what they cracked up to be
Life in the city wasn't what I expected it to be
Fell flat on my back, searchin' for my soul
I lost my way and felt lost and alone
Now I'm headed back down my country road
I'm returning to my roots and the simplicity of country life
A cul-de-sac and a U-Haul
I'm moving back home with all my belongings
I'm gonna make it back to Georgia 'fore the dew fall
I'm determined to make it home before nightfall
Red wine, the kind that give ya lock jaw
I'm enjoying some strong wine as I head back home
Old tires ain't seen dirt roads in a while
My car tires are used to city roads and not country lanes
But the grass getting green so I know I'm in the south
The lush green grass tells me I'm back in the southern countryside
Old backwood fiend, man, there ain't no doubt
I have a deep love for the southern countryside
Thank God I was born in the south (born in the south)
I'm grateful for my southern roots and upbringing
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
I'm ready to enjoy the simple pleasures of country living
Stop and look at the deer track
I'm taking time to appreciate nature and wildlife
Grabbin' me a beer from the back
I'm enjoying a cold beer from my cooler in the car
30.06 by my side, can you feel that?
I'm carrying my hunting rifle for protection on my trip back home
A right at the chicken pen
I know the directions to my home very well
A left at the back lodge
I'm taking the familiar route back home
We made it to the river and we never touch a black top
I've arrived back home without ever having to touch the busy city roads

"Dear The Lacs,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for the incredible kindness you showed my family, especially my mom, during your recent concert in Illinois. My dad, who was a veteran and a huge fan of your music, passed away from cancer on August 6, 2023. He always had your music playing when he was alive, and your songs provided the soundtrack to many of our cherished memories.
Your act of remembering him for giving you a t-shirt and giving my mom a hug meant more to us than words can ever convey. You are not only incredibly talented musicians but also genuinely compassionate and patriotic individuals. Your music has been a source of comfort and inspiration for my family during these tough times, and your actions at the concert showcased your incredible character.
Thank you for being the amazing people you are, and for making a positive impact on our lives. We will forever cherish the memories you helped create for us over the years.
With immense gratitude,
a fan forever

I haven't heard such an awesome song as this in 3 decades. I'm an 80*s free spirit with bands among bands. This one got my 53 yr old body moving and touched my soul like music is meant for. Awesome incredible clean music for this decade that got me all excited again to hit a country road and just jam away. Just amazing
