    Verse 1
    Well, 
    I 

    never 
    was 
    one 
    for 
    trouble 

    But 
    I 
    reckon 
    it 
    was 
    for 
    me 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    just 
    a 
    little 
    boy 

    Pap 
    put 
    me 
    on 
    his 
    knee 

    Verse 2
    And 
    he said, 
    "Dear 
    son, 
    steer 
    clearly 

    On 
    the 
    high 
    road 
    you 
    should 
    stay 

    'Cause 
    down 
    there 
    in 
    them 
    val
    leys, 

    boy 

    Them 
    detour 
    make 
    ya stray" 

    Verse 3
    He said, 
    "Don't 
    waste 
    to

    morrow 
    on 
    today's 
    idle 
    time 

    It's 
    hard 
    time 
    living 
    on 
    the 

    backroads of 
    your 
    mind" 

    Verse 4

    On 
    the 
    backroads of 
    my 
    mind 

    Where 
    the 
    turns 
    are 
    mostly 
    blind 

    Reckoning 
    by 
    wrote 
    and 
    memory 

    Well, 
    they 
    don't 
    been 
    de
    ducted 

    and 
    lately 
    you're 
    in 
    de
    cline 

    It's 
    hard 
    time 
    living 
    on 
    the 

    backroads of 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 5

    Now 
    the years 
    flew 
    by 
    so 
    swiftly 

    And 
    I can't 
    say 
    they 
    was 
    kind 

    The 
    old 
    home 
    and 
    my 
    family 

    I 
    left 
    it 
    all 
    be
    hind 

    Verse 6
    For 
    a life 
    of 
    hopeful 
    fortune 

    On 
    the 
    highways 
    I 
    did 
    grow 

    But like 
    so 
    many 
    dead- 
    end 
    roads 

    They 
    left 
    me 
    all 
    alone 

    Verse 7
    I 
    ain't 
    ne'er 
    been 
    to 
    Jackson 

    Where 
    trouble's 
    so 
    easy 
    to 
    find

    I 
    mourned 
    my fair 
    share 
    here 
    on 

    the 
    backroads of 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 8

    On 
    the 
    backroads of 
    my 
    mind 

    Where 
    the 
    turns 
    are 
    mostly 
    blind 

    Reckoning

    wrote 
    and

    Well, 
    they 
    don't 
    been 
    de
    ducted 

    and 
    lately 
    you're 
    in

    It's 
    hard 
    time

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
