You say wake up! wake up!
Stop dreaming on my time
But i say no! no! no!
Just let me sleep is it a crime?
I hear the clock's tick tock
But i'm not
Jumping out of bed
Until the path is clear
You'll find me here
Dreaming up at storm...
Cuz i don't want to climb the ladder no
I don't want to take the highway no
I just wanna take the back roads baby
I just have to do it my way
I just have to do it my way now
And i know you think your right
And maybe you are
But i'm putting up a fight
This time
And there's nothing you can say
The road is open and i'm on my way
And i'll be taking the back roads.
The wind in the trees
Whispers all i need to know
About the weather up ahead
Should i stay or should go?
There's a beauty in the open road
And i don't want to miss a sign
So, i take my time
Cuz i don't want to climb the ladder no
I don't want to take the highway no
I just wanna take the back roads baby
I just have to do it my way
I just have to do it my way now
And i know you think your right
But i'm putting up a fight
This time
And there's nothing you can say
The road is open and i'm on my way
And i'll be taking the back roads...
This time I'm taking the backroads
And there's nothing nothing nothing
You can say
To change my way
Cuz i don't want to climb the ladder no
I don't want to take the highway no
I just wanna take the back roads baby
I just have to do it my way
I just have to do it my way now
And i know you think your right
And maybe you are
But i'm putting up a fight
This time
And there's nothing you can say
The road is open and i'm on my way
And i'll be taking the back roads.
