Backroad Heart

Sunset fading on a gravel road
Radio playing something soft and old
Got your name written in the dust on my dash
And a memory I ain’t ready to trash

We were young, wild, chasing that breeze
Two hearts tangled up in oak tree leaves
Said forever like we had the time
Now forever feels like one long goodbye

I got a backroad heart, still stuck on you
Every turn I take just leads me to
Those nights, those stars, that truck, that kiss
Every little thing I still miss
Yeah I tried to run, but it ain’t that far
When your love’s the map on my broken heart
I’m lost in the dark, but I still start
With a backroad heart

Your laugh still echoes in this old town bar
Every face I see just ain’t who you are
They say move on, but they don’t know
How deep your roots in my soul still grow

Got your picture folded in my jeans
Faded edges but it still feels clean
Like the day we swore we’d never change
Funny how life don’t play that game

I got a backroad heart, still stuck on you
Every turn I take just leads me to
Those nights, those stars, that truck, that kiss
Every little thing I still miss
Yeah I tried to run, but it ain’t that far
When your love’s the map on my broken heart
I’m lost in the dark, but I still start
With a backroad heart

Maybe one day I’ll let you go
But tonight I’m driving slow
Chasing ghosts down County Line
Wishing you were still mine

I got a backroad heart, can’t break it loose
Every mile just brings your truth
Through the pain, through the scars
