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

rock, Anthemic late-90s alt-country meets modern pop-country: gritty electric guitars over tight 808-infused drums, warm bass glue, and wide gang vocals on the hook. 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
