“Backroads Don’t Forget”

Title: “Backroads Don’t Forget”

Verse 1

I left my boots by the front porch light,

Hoped you’d come back ‘fore the end of the night.

But the screen door slammed, and your taillights burned,

Guess some roads only run one-way turns.

Chorus

Backroads don’t forget the wheels that roll,

They hold the truth, they don’t let go.

Every mile we drove, every song we sang,

Still echoes out where the gravel rang.

Love fades fast, but I’ll never regret—

These backroads don’t forget.

Verse 2

We carved our names in that old oak tree,

Swore forever, just you and me.

Now the dust is thick where your shadow lay,

But I still drive by every Saturday.

Chorus

Backroads don’t forget the wheels that roll,

They hold the truth, they don’t let go.

Every mile we drove, every song we sang,

Still echoes out where the gravel rang.

Love fades fast, but I’ll never regret—

These backroads don’t forget.

Bridge

Maybe someday I’ll find peace of mind,

Leave your ghost somewhere down the line.

But until that day, when the sun has set,

I’ll be haunted by the roads we met.

Final Chorus

Backroads don’t forget the wheels that roll,

They hold the truth, they don’t let go.

Every mile we drove, every song we sang,

Still echoes out where the gravel rang.

Love fades fast, but I’ll never regret—

These backroads don’t forget…

Outro

No, these backroads…

They don’t forget.
