Lyrics

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVIN DOWN THE BACKROADS, WASHBOARDS, AND WASH-OUTS ALL THE WAY
LIFE WAS REALLY GIVIN ME A SHAKIN, ROUGH ROADS BUILT BY GOIN MY OWN WAY

BUT THAT DIDN'T CAUSE ME MUCH TO WORRY, MY FRIENDS WERE YELLING FASTER ALL THE WAY
RATTLIN, AND SHAKIN DOWN THE BACKROADS, I THOUGHT I WAS REALLY LIVIN FREE

THEN ONE DAY I MET HIM AT THE CROSSROADS, HE SHOUTED OUT "COME AND FOLLOW ME"
THERE WAS PEACE AND GRACE, FLOWING FROM HIS FACE, I'VE BEEN TAILGATIN JESUS SINCE THAT DAY

NOW, I'M TAILGATIN JESUS, FOLLOWING HIM CLOSER, DAY BY DAY
IF HE TAKES A LEFT, OR IF HE TAKES A RIGHT, I'M FOLLOWING , CLOSER EV'RY DAY

IF YOU'VE BEEN DRIVIN DOWN THE BACKROADS, WASHBOARDS, AND WASH-OUTS ALL THE WAY
IF LIFE IS REALLY GIVIN YOU A SHAKIN, ROUGH ROADS BUILT BY GOIN YOUR OWN WAY

FRIEND, YOU NEED TO RECONSIDER, THAT ROAD IS FULL OF MANY BROKEN LIVES
FROM RATTLIN, AND SHAKIN DOWN THE BACKROADS, IF YOU LOOK CLOSE I KNOW, YOU WILL SEE

BUT TODAY HE WANTS TO MEET YOU AT THE CROSSROADS, HE SAYS "LOST CHILD, COME AND FOLLOW ME"
DON'T PASS UP THIS CHANCE; THIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY, TO WALK WITH JESUS, ON THIS LONE HI-WAY

SO COME, AND TAILGATE MY JESUS, FOLLOW HIM CLOSER, DAY BY DAY
IF HE TAKES A LEFT, OR IF HE TAKES A RIGHT, FOLLOW CLOSER, EACH AND EVERY DAY

TODAY, I'M TAILGATIN JESUS, FOLLOWING HIM CLOSER, DAY BY DAY
IF HE TAKES A LEFT, OR IF HE TAKES A RIGHT, I WILL FOLLOW JESUS, EACH AND EV'RY DAY
COME FOLLOW JESUS ON THIS LONE HI-WAY
COME, AND JOIN ME ON MY MERRY WAY

Biography

My name is Trevor Toews.

I was born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada, and was raised in various locations through-out Manitoba.

Presently, I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I love to sing about God's love and truths as found in the Bible, and the life-changing events that have occurred in my life over the years as Father God has touched me and made Himself real to me.

Presently, there are 377 songs on my site; 315 which are of my own composition, and the rest which are either hymns that I have come to love, or from other artists who have graciously granted me their  permission to record their songs... [more]
