Backseat Never Letting Go

[Verse 1]
Pulled up by the river
Old boots on the dash
You laughed at my old sweatshirt
Said, “Boy, you drive too fast”
Threw your suitcase in the trunk
But one thing changed right then
You climbed in that backseat
I ain’t been the same again
[Chorus]
’Cause I put it in my backseat, never getting it out
That first shy smile, that first wild roundabout
All those midnight secrets
All that torn-up denim
Girl, your love’s riding with me, every mile I’m in it
I put it in my backseat, and that’s where it’ll stay
Rolling down this long road
’Til my last highway day
[Verse 2]
There’s a blanket and a Bible
And your red-flowered dress
Still a little sand from summer
I ain’t bothered to press
Every coffee cup from sunrise
Every “don’t you dare forget”
Lives there in that back row
Like a promise I ain’t broke yet
[Chorus]
’Cause I put it in my backseat, never getting it out
That first shy smile, that first wild roundabout
All those midnight secrets
All that torn-up denim
Girl, your love’s riding with me, every mile I’m in it
I put it in my backseat, and that’s where it’ll stay
Rolling down this long road
’Til my last highway day
[Bridge]
Maybe some folks pack it light
Leave when the weather turns
Me, I keep every little thing
Every lesson that I learn
So if you’re ever wondering
Just how far this could go
Look over your shoulder, baby
You’ve been riding in my soul (oh)
[Chorus]
Yeah, I put it in my backseat, never getting it out
That forever kind of crazy I can’t live without
All those “don’t let go”s
Every “take it slow”
Girl, your love’s riding with me, and I just hope you know
I put it in my backseat, and that’s where it’ll stay
Rolling down this long road
’Til my last highway day
