Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Eighteen Rust on the tailgate School sticker peeling off the glass Mama says I’m running from my future I say I’m just driving too fast Gas station coffee in a paper cup Two dollars left and I spend it all On a map I never open I just follow every long fence line I recall [Chorus] I got these backroads in my veins Every turn’s a last name I can’t shake Windows down Yelling out the pain Till it all sounds like a hometown parade Yeah I’m too young to feel this old But I’m too wild to let it go Raise that dust Scream my name I got these backroads Backroads in my veins [Verse 2] Old denim jacket in the shotgun Her perfume stuck in the seams Thought we’d paint this county together She left me there holding the dreams Now it’s church signs Closed-down diners Late-night talks with the radio glow Every mile writes me a line And every mile says “kid You’re gonna blow” (oh yeah) [Chorus] I got these backroads in my veins Every turn’s a last name I can’t shake Windows down Yelling out the pain Till it all sounds like a hometown parade Yeah I’m too young to feel this old But I’m too wild to let it go Raise that dust Scream my name I got these backroads Backroads in my veins [Bridge] Maybe I ain’t lost I’m just leaving Trading small-town walls for a bigger sky If all I’ve got is this truck and my breathing Then that’s enough to make the night reply (hey!) [Chorus] I got these backroads in my veins Every turn’s a last name I can’t shake Windows down Yelling out the pain Till it all sounds like a hometown parade Yeah I’m too young to feel this old But I’m too wild to let it go Raise that dust Remember my name I got these backroads Backroads in my veins

Verses ride a rhythmic, storytelling pocket; choruses explode with big melodic lines, stacked male harmonies, and bright lead licks answering key phrases. Bridge strips back to vocal and drums, then slams into a final, shout-along chorus., electric, male vocals, alternative country, rhythmic, pop, country, country rock
