[Verse 1]
World's gone mad, damn near insane
It's upside down, the track jumped the train
Like a tree on fire
Headed for your house while the flames get higher
Prices gone up, value goin' down
A million cars goin' 'round and 'round
I think I'll jump this ship
And move to a spot that always digs

[Chorus]
I'll take a slow drive, backwoods Kentucky
Sunshine, find me a muddy
Trail I can put these old tires spinnin' around
And I'll take a jon boat, Johnson motor
Old Zebco, live bait floaters
Some canned Coors Light, listen to the river sound
When it all goes left, take a hard right turn
I pray the fish still bite and the world don't burn

[Verse 2]
Well there ain't no rocks, no throwing stones
Ain't no damn keeping up with the Jones's
That won't fly
Like an eagle does in a bluegrass sky
Light shows up, dark disappears
That's the thing about way out here
So good, so far
Takin' it easy ain't so hard
[Chorus]
I'll take a slow drive, backwoods Kentucky
Sunshine, find me a muddy
Trail I can put these old tires spinnin' around
And I'll take a jon boat, Johnson motor
Old Zebco, live bait floaters
Some canned Coors Light, listen to the river sound
When it all goes left, take a hard right turn
I pray the fish still bite and the world don't burn
Hope it don't burn

[Bridge]
Some folks say I've checked out
I don't know what life's about
Hell, I'll be just fine
You do your thing and I'll do mine

[Chorus]
I'll take a slow drive, backwoods Kentucky
Sunshine, find me a muddy
Trail I can put these old tires spinnin' around
And I'll take a jon boat, Johnson motor
Old Zebco, live bait floaters
Some canned Coors Light, listen to the river sound
When it all goes left, take a hard right turn
I pray the fish still bite and the world don't burn
Pray the world don't burn
[Outro]
I pray the fish still bite and the world don't burn
I pray the fish still bite and the world don't burn
I pray the fish still bite and the world don't burn
