Blue Eyes Backroad

[Verse 1]
Two-lane town in the rearview blur
Your bare feet on my dusty dash
You laughed at every broken plan
Said
“Boy
We’re never getting this back”
[Pre-Chorus]
I still taste cherry on your lips
Salt on your skin
That August wind
Every time I think I’ve healed
You walk by my mind again
[Chorus]
I get lost in your blue eyes
Every time I close mine
Like I’m stuck on that backroad
Frozen in a goodbye
You’re a song that won’t stop
Playing in my head at night
I keep driving
But I
Stay lost in your blue eyes
[Verse 2]
Friends all say I should burn your pics
Tear that year right out the frame
But your note’s still in my glovebox fold
I trace your name
I say your name
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve tried strangers
Tried the barroom lights
Tried to drown you in the noise
But every quiet in this house
Sounds like you calling my voice
[Chorus]
I get lost in your blue eyes
Every time I close mine
Like I’m stuck on that backroad
Frozen in a goodbye
You’re a song that won’t stop
Playing in my head at night
I keep driving
But I
Stay lost in your blue eyes
[Bridge]
Are you out there in some new town
Finding someone new to haunt?
Do you ever see my old truck
In the corners of your thoughts? (yeah)
[Chorus]
I get lost in your blue eyes
Every time I close mine
Like I’m stuck on that backroad
Frozen in a goodbye
You’re a prayer that won’t fade
Echo in a midnight sky
I keep driving
But I
Stay lost in your blue eyes
(yeah I’m still lost in your blue eyes)
