Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were barefoot in that hayfield
Rust on your truck
Dust on my boots
You stole a kiss at the four-way stop
Said
“Don’t tell a soul” as the light turned blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fence post
Every lane
Got your name carved in that grain
When I think I’m doin’ fine
One backroad pulls me back in time
[Chorus]
Backroads
Front row
You’re still right beside me
Hand out the window
Hair in the high beam glow
Every Friday night felt like forever
Two hearts swearin’ they’d never let go
I can run
I can move to the city
Change my job
Change my clothes
But I can’t change the way you love me
In these small-town memories that won’t let me go (oh no)
[Verse 2]
Your dad’s porch light
Our curfew clock
Sneakin’ out with your shoes in your hand
Laughin’ quiet in that gravel drive
You said
“I ain’t leavin’
I got my plans”
[Pre-Chorus]
Now they sold that corner store
Painted over what we wrote on the door
But under all that fresh white shine
There’s our names
Frozen in time
[Chorus]
Backroads
Front row
You’re still right beside me
Hand out the window
Hair in the high beam glow
Every Friday night felt like forever
Two hearts swearin’ they’d never let go
I can run
I can move to the city
Change my job
Change my clothes
But I can’t change the way you love me
In these small-town memories that won’t let me go
[Bridge]
I toast your name at a dive cross-state (yeah)
Tell our story like a hometown saint
But when the crowd sings along my throat gets tight
‘Cause I’m still that kid under August skies
[Chorus]
Backroads
Front row
You’re still right beside me
Hand out the window
Hair in the high beam glow
Every Friday night felt like forever
Two hearts swearin’ they’d never let go
I can run
I can move to the city
Change my job
Change my hopes
But I can’t change the way you love me
In these small-town memories that won’t let me go (won’t let me go)
Yeah
These small-town memories
They still feel like home
