Backroads and bonfires

Verse 1

The sun dropped low on a Friday night,

Dust rolled gold in the headlights.

Old Chevy humming like a church choir,

Windows down, hearts on fire.

Radio crackled with a worn-out tune,

Stars waking up to a silver moon.

You laughed and said, “Don’t ever grow old,”

So I grabbed your hand instead of the wheel I hold.

Pre-Chorus

We weren’t chasing money,

We weren’t chasing fame.

Just trying to write forever

On a county road with our names.

Chorus

We’re backroads and bonfires,

Blue jeans and barbed wire.

Cold beer sweating in the summer heat,

Two hearts racing to the same heartbeat.

Smoke in the sky, sparks in your eyes,

Every goodbye just brought another sunrise.

If tomorrow comes, we’ll face it together—

You and me burning like backroads and bonfires forever.

Verse 2

You wore that faded flannel of mine,

Smelled like cedar and Tennessee pine.

The world kept spinning way too fast,

But somehow we’d always make it last.

We had our fights like thunder rolls,

But love still found the broken roads.

Every scar became another line

In the story that made your soul fit mine.

Pre-Chorus

When the rain starts falling,

And the lights go dark,

You’ll always find me

Following your heart.

Chorus

We’re backroads and bonfires,

Blue jeans and barbed wire.

Cold beer sweating in the summer heat,

Two hearts racing to the same heartbeat.

Smoke in the sky, sparks in your eyes,

Every goodbye just brought another sunrise.

If tomorrow comes, we’ll face it together—

You and me burning like backroads and bonfires forever.

Bridge

Turn it up—

Let the guitars scream,

Let the tires sing,

Let freedom ring.

Every mile we’ve driven

Made believers out of dreamers.

If this road never ends,

That’s alright with me…

Final Chorus

We’re backroads and bonfires,

Still climbing higher.

From little-town nights to wide-open skies,

You still look like home in my eyes.

No matter where these highways run,

You’re my moonlight and my morning sun.

When they ask what kept this flame alive,

I’ll smile and say,

“It was you the whole damn time.”

Outro

The fire burns low,

But the embers still glow.

As long as these wheels keep turning,

Our hearts will keep burning
