Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The  back roads of this county
 Cross  like the laces on my boots
 And  I’ve been running ‘em down
 Since  I was able to
 I left  home at nineteen,
 And  swore I was never coming back
 Nights  like this I sure wish
 That’s  where I was at.
Slow  pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on  the white rock
 There’s  a party on a dead end road
 We’re  just hopin’ that the cops don’t show
 Somebody  is looking for a fight
 It’s  gonna be that kind of night
 When  I get too far from home
 I go  find me a back road.
 I remember  the summer, I turned sixteen
 I made  out with a girl in the back of her hatchback Chevrolet
 And  I drank my first beer, on the Louisiana  state line
 My  first night to see the other side
I  heard ‘em tell me, son don’t forget where you come from
 And I never have, and I still like to beat that drum
 From the river bottoms, to the tall pine trees
 It will be forever right here inside of me
 Slow pokin’ down a blacktop, cuttin’ tires on the white rock
 There’s a party on a dead end road
 We’re just hopin’ that the cops don’t show
 Somebody is looking for a fight
 It’s gonna be that kind of night
 When I get too far from home
 I go find me a back road.
 This is a great song and needs to be finished, but i think i'm missing one chord. if
 helps,yall keep workin on it.
