Backroads

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I recall small town stars The radio tower in the reservoir The way it was, the way it goes And the crazy way you drove Backroads [Verse 2] Daredevil on a joyride Thought you were a rebel of some kind Angels watching over all the time Didn't even know Backroads [Chorus] Small town stars That shone and all night long they seem to say You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone Some day [Verse 3] Heaven was above your head Met you at the Watershed Thе day the doors of high school close God opens thе window Backroads [Verse 4] Say goodbye to childhood Gettin' wild up in the woods Drop the cans when the policeman showed And everybody dove Backroads [Bridge] Different cop on the same night Stopped a kid about a tail light Somebody thought it didn't look right Might as well have said he didn't look white Might've rode all night and gone far Had he been ridin' in a different car You and I were in the dark Driving under different stars [Chorus] That shone and all night long they seem to say You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone Some day [Verse 5] Young, in love and it stung my eyes Never gonna hurt like the first time Pullin' over on a shoulder Let the tears drops roll Backroads [Verse 6] Cliché on the radio Speaking straight to my soul Baby, baby please don't go Don't leave me all alone Backroads [Chorus] But I was not alone I had the stars that shone You are one of our own Hey, you might be someone You got hearts to break You've got mistakes to make You got miles, and miles, and miles to go Backroads Backroads [Outro] I recall small town stars The radio tower in the reservoir The way it was, the way it goes And the crazy way you drove
