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
