Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your blue jeans on the back of that chair
Coffee cup ring on the counter still there
Dog by the door keeps waitin’ on you
Guess he don’t know what a goodbye can do
[Chorus]
Backroads and barstools
That’s where I’ve been
Chasin’ your ghost in a jukebox spin
Same old small town
Same two-lane view
But it don’t feel like home since it lost you
Yeah
I’m stuck between the church bell and the pool hall smoke
Backroads and barstools
Hangin’ on to hope
[Verse 2]
Buddy at the station says I’m lookin’ worn thin
Says
“Man
You need a fresh start
Not another drink again”
But that open sign’s glowin’ like a welcome light
And I keep findin’ your laugh in a Friday night
[Chorus]
Backroads and barstools
That’s where I’ve been
Chasin’ your ghost in a jukebox spin
Same old small town
Same two-lane view
But it don’t feel like home since it lost you
Yeah
I’m stuck between the church bell and the pool hall smoke
Backroads and barstools
Hangin’ on to hope
[Bridge]
Some folks pack up
Head for brighter skies
Me
I mow the same yard
Tell the same old lies
Say I’m doin’ just fine
Got my life on track
But every neon door just leads me right back
[Chorus]
Backroads and barstools
That’s where I’ve been
Chasin’ your ghost in a jukebox spin
Same old small town
Same two-lane view
But it don’t feel like home since it lost you
Yeah
I’m stuck between the church bell and the pool hall smoke
Backroads and barstools
Darlin’ you’re my hope
